“The Daughter of Time” is Josephine Tey’s best-known novel. The Detection Writers’ Association of England officially considers it the greatest English detective novel.
Will the bed-ridden Scotland Yard inspector be able to solve a murder that happened almost five hundred years ago? Alan Grant lies in the hospital with a broken leg and, from boredom, decides to unravel the mystery of the most tangled crime of medieval England—the death of two young princes, in which the usurping king and Richard III’s hunchbacked monster from children’s fairy tales are accused. The investigator tries to understand whether the king was really as terrible as Shakespeare and Thomas More wrote about him. Like a true policeman, he begins the investigation with a question: who benefited from the murder of Richard III’s nephews?
“Dancing Sands”
Inspector Alan Grant travels by night train on vacation to Scotland. In the morning, upon arriving at the station, by chance he discovers in the neighboring compartment the body of a young Frenchman, Charles Martin, and automatically picks up a newspaper that the young man had been reading shortly before his death. The police see no point in investigating, believing the passenger’s death was due to natural causes, but Grant is certain the police are wrong. A poem about the “dancing sands,” which Charles Martin had scribbled in the margins of the newspaper… won’t let him rest.
