![]() ![]() Edwards reign came near the end of the famed 100 years War of the Roses. An unusual premise for a crime novel perhaps, but nevertheless an extremely clever and engrossing one, brilliantly plotted and written with enormous charm and erudition. That series tells the tale of Elizabeth Woodville, the beautiful wife of Edward IV. But Grant doesn’t accept the face in the portrait is the face of a villain so he sets out to investigate what really happened. Renowned for his ability to read a face, he passes the time looking at old portraits and one which particularly grabs his attention is of Richard III, the supposed arch villain who killed his own nephews, ‘the princes in the tower’. Inspector Alan Grant is laid up in hospital with a spinal injury and he’s bored. Josephine Tey is one of the best-known and best-loved of all crime writers. This edition is introduced by writer David Stuart Davies. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. ![]() Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.
