Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard‚ recuperating from a broken leg‚ becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history. Could such a sensitive‚ noble face belong to a venomous hunchback who may have killed his brother’s children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been the victim‚ turned into a monster by the usurpers of England’s throne? Grant determines to find out once and for all.
