| Scotland Yard inspector Grant is lying in his bed in a London hospital. He will spend his time trying to understand why King Richard III is presented as the murderer of his two nephews by all the history books while there are no clues incriminating him. Helped by a young American student who's charged by Grant to consult for him books and letters from the XVth and the XVIth century, Grant will discover that Richard had in fact no good reason at all to kill King Edward's sons. He wants to find out who really did it. | ||
