The last and most influential of Josephine Tey's novels, originally published in 1951.

Who really killed the princes in the tower?

Was Richard III truly the ogre of legend and Shakespeare’s play – a wicked uncle who murdered his nephews to steal the crown of England?

Inspector Alan Grant is not so sure. Laid up in hospital with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with unravelling this most enduring of historical mysteries. As he investigates with the help of an enthusiastic young American scholar, he unearths long-buried intrigues and comes to a startling conclusion.
