Voted the top crime novel of all time by the UK Crime Writers' Association, The Daughter of Time is Josephine Tey's last and most successful book.
Complete and unabridged. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is introduced by writer David Stuart Davies.
Inspector Alan Grant is laid up in hospital with a spinal injury and he's bored. Renowned for his ability to read a face, he passes the time looking at old portraits and one which particularly grabs his attention is of Richard III, the supposed arch villain who killed his own nephews, 'the princes in the tower'. But Grant doesn't accept the face in the portrait is the face of a villain so he sets out to investigate what really happened. An unusual premise for a crime novel perhaps, but nevertheless an extremely clever and engrossing one, brilliantly plotted and written with enormous charm and erudition.

A hot Cold Case
Inspector Alan Grant has to stay in a hospital bed with a broken leg, he is bored, really bored. Then out of the blue some interesting investigation work from the late 15th century appears. What happened to the Two Princes in the Tower? Their fate is still unclear. It´s generally assumed that they have been murdered. But when exactly and why, who was the instigator, who was the murderer? King Richard III., his successor King Henry VII. or some other person? This book is truly a masterpiece of history based British crime-fiction, it has been voted „Top Crime Novel Of All Time“ by the British Crime Writers´Assciation“. (See also: Mantel, Wolf Hall)
