The Daughter of Time
Hospitalized with an injury and bored by inactivity, Inspector Alan Grant begins examining the historical case against Richard III. A portrait makes him doubt the familiar image of a monstrous king who murdered the Princes in the Tower. With the help of a young researcher, Grant compares chronicles, motives, succession claims, and the interests of writers who shaped the accepted story. Cerebral and provocative, this unconventional mystery suits readers who enjoy historical puzzles, research as detection, contested reputations, and the question of how confidently later generations can judge the past.
