When Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant is confined to a hospital bed, a friend brings him an assortment of pictures of famous historical figures. Grant is captivated by a portrait of King Richard III and wonders how such a sensitive-appearing soul could have murdered his own nephews to secure the British crown for himself. Grant reconsiders 500-year-old evidence pertaining to one of the most intriguing mysteries of all time. Who really killed the princes in the Tower of London? Josephine Tey's answer to this question has fascinated readers since the book's publication in 1951. This classic mystery has been ranked fourth by the Mystery Writers of America on its list of the Top 100 Mystery Novels of All Time.
