*The Daughter of Time* by Josephine Tey is a groundbreaking mystery that transcends the traditional detective genre. Confined to a hospital bed with a broken leg, Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant turns his investigative talents to a centuries-old enigma: the reputation of King Richard III. Intrigued by a portrait of the supposedly villainous monarch, Grant embarks on a historical inquiry that challenges the accepted narrative of Richard as the murderer of the Princes in the Tower. Through meticulous research and sharp reasoning, Tey crafts a compelling case for reexamining history itself. Brilliantly written and intellectually provocative, *The Daughter of Time* is widely regarded as one of the finest detective novels ever written.
