At Scotland Yard, Inspector Grant has a reputation for being able to
pick them at sight. Now he is in hospital, knowing that no amount of
good behaviour is going to make this anything less than an extended
stay. Yet his professional curiosity is soon aroused. In a portrait of
Richard III, the hunchbacked monster of nursery stories and history
books, he finds a face that refuses to fit its reputation. But how,
after four hundred years, can a bedridden policeman uncover the truth
about the murder of the Princes in the Tower?
