The Daughter of Time

Convalescing from a broken leg, Inspector Alan Grant undertakes to solve one of the greatest mysteries of all time—the murder of the princes in the Tower. Intrigued by a sympathetic portrait of King Richard III, Grant questions conventional accounts that condemn the monarch as the murderer of his young nephews. With the help of his friend, Marta Hallard, and a new acquaintance, Brent Carradine, Grant delves into the evidence—or lack thereof—surrounding the heinous crime and comes to a startling conclusion.

The Daughter of Time is the fifth novel to feature Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, and the last novel to be published by author Josephine Tey during her lifetime. It is recognized as a classic of detective literature and was voted number one in the UK Crime Writers' Association list of the top 100 crime novels of all time.
