The book includes detective works by the famous English writer Josephine Tay (1897–1952). In the novels “The Singing Sands” and “Child of Time,” the investigation is led by Inspector Grant from Scotland Yard. He successfully uses both generally accepted police methods and his own, extremely heightened, intuition. Finding himself in a hospital bed, Inspector Grant studies portraits of people in whose lives there was a secret, and among them - murderers of innocent children, a tyrant and despot - Richard III. If the portrait is to be believed, Richard III does not look like a murderer. But if he did not kill his nephews, why did he go down in history as a freak and a villain? And what really happened to the princes?
