Inspector Grant is hospitalized and bored. His friend, actress Marta Hallard, brings him pictures of famous faces to study. He becomes intrigued by the picture of Richard 111 and begins to read all he can about him and to draw his own conclusion about whether Richard really killed his nephews.

As a person with a history degree, I found this book to be so interesting that I count it as one of those books that changed my outlook on life.

I liked it, but at times I felt I was drowning in all the Henry\'s, Richard\'s & Elizabeth\'s. It was hard for me to keep them all straight!
