The Daughter of Time

One of the best mysteries all time from the much-loved crime Golden Age writer Josephine Tey

Scotland Yard inspector Alan Grant, recovering from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III, believed to have brutally killed his brother’s children - the Princes in the Tower - to make his crown secure. But is the hunchback with such a sensitive, noble face really one of the world’s most heinous villains? Or was he the victim of one of the most insidious plots in history?
