What Is The Story?

Recovering in hospital and hopelessly bored, Scotland Yard detective Alan Grant seeks to amuse himself with a historical investigation. Inspired by a painting of Richard III, he dives into the case of the Princes in the Tower - and quickly finds himself at the centre of one of history's great acts of revisionism and propaganda. The Daughter of Time uses the crime genre to tell a fascinating tale of how time can turn myths into facts, and how easily narratives can be bent to a purpose.
