It was the portrait of a man...A judge? A soldier? A prince?
When Grant turned over the picture, to his surprise the caption read ‘Richard the Third’. He spent a long time looking at the face, unconvinced that it could belong to a murderer, the monster of nursery stories, a synonym for villainy. Had the hated hunchback really murdered the Princes in the Tower?
Or did they outlive him?
With the help of a young American, Grant sets out on a unique murder investigation.
The mystery which unfolds is one of the most original pieces of historical fiction ever written.
