Description
While recovering from a broken leg, Scotland Yard inspector Alan Grant turns his attention to a centuries-old mystery: the fate of the young princes confined to the Tower of London. A compelling portrait of Richard III prompts Grant to challenge the accepted story of royal murder, leading him and a small circle of helpers through historical records, conflicting testimony, and the limits of evidence. Blending the methods of a detective investigation with richly imagined historical inquiry, the novel explores how reputations are made, myths endure, and truth can be obscured by tradition. Witty, intelligent, and quietly suspenseful, it is a landmark of crime fiction and historical mystery.
