Convalescing from a broken leg, Inspector Alan Grant undertakes to solve one of the greatest mysteries of all time—the murder of the princes in the Tower. Intrigued by a sympathetic portrait of King Richard III, Grant questions conventional accounts that condemn the monarch as the murderer of his young nephews. With the help of his friend, Marta Hallard, and a new acquaintance, Brent Carradine, Grant delves into the evidence—or lack thereof—surrounding the heinous crime and comes to a startling conclusion.
