The Daughter of Time: An Inspector Alan Grant Mystery
eBook
( Feb. 12, 2015)
The Daughter of Time is an unlikely detective story. It's the story of a police inspector who, whilst laid up in bed because of a leg injury, is presented with a portrait of England's King Richard III (reigned 1483-1485) and comes to the conclusion that a man so genteel-looking couldn't possibly be the ruthless murderer Shakespeare made him out to be, because 'villains don't suffer, and that face is full of the most dreadful pain'. So with a little help from the nurses and the friends and colleagues who come and visit him in the hospital, he starts digging through fifteenth-century history, only to come up with a few interesting theories of his own, all of which seem to point to history's having given Richard a rotten deal.
