The Daughter of Time

Following the investigation of a twentieth-century detective into the alleged crimes of King Richard III of England, Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time is an undisputable classic of crime fiction. In 1990, it was voted the greatest crime novel of all time by the Crime Writer's Association.
Inspector Alan Grant has made a career out of his ability to read faces. Laid up in hospital with a spinal injury, he passes the time studying portraits, one of which holds his interest above all others-that of Richard III, the villainous murderer of the princes in the tower. But that face, Inspector Alan Grant is convinced, is not the face of a murderer. In one of the of the most thrilling and original detective stories of all time, Josephine Tey sets her intuitive inspector on a unique investigation into a double murder committed at the close of Late Middle Ages.
