Josephine Tey's renowned mystery novel, 'The Daughter of Time,' presents a unique historical investigation. Confined to a hospital bed, Scotland Yard's Inspector Alan Grant becomes fascinated by the notorious case of Richard III, traditionally accused of murdering the Princes in the Tower. Unable to conduct a conventional investigation, Grant, aided by a young American researcher, meticulously sifts through historical records, contemporary accounts, and portraits. His armchair detective work challenges centuries of accepted history, proposing an alternative, compelling narrative that questions the very nature of truth and historical revisionism. This enduring classic remains a masterclass in intellectual deduction.
