The Daughter of Time

Confined to a hospital bed, Scotland Yard's Inspector Alan Grant is bored. To divert his attention from his pain, a friend brings him pictures of faces. He becomes engrossed with the portrait of Richard III. How is it possible that such a sensitive-appearing soul could have been portrayed as the odious villain, the Wicked Uncle of history, responsible for the murder of his young nephews, heirs to the British throne, in order to secure the line of succession for himself? Grant reconsiders 500-year-old evidence pertaining to one of the most intriguing mysteries of all time: Who really killed the two princes in the Tower of London? Tey's answer to this question has provoked controversy among historians. ======================================== 一部独一无二的历史推理小说，甚至很“不像”一本推理小说。小说中所谓的案件是英国历史上一宗家喻户晓的故事：理查三世为了篡取王位，谋杀了囚禁在伦敦塔上的两个小王子。 “罪行”令人发指，更令人深思。但是病床上的格兰特探长却根据他缜密的推理，一举推翻了流传四百年之久的历史定论，并告诉我们：事情的真相未必就是你听来或看来的那样！
