"the daughter of time", first published 1951, is a novel of the application of police investigation method into the story of the murder of "the princes in the tower", allegedly by richard III, the last plantagenet king of england, and then into the whole of his life and the circumstances of the decades of internecine strife known as "the war of the roses", by detective inspector grant, who is laid up in a hospital bed with a broken leg and dying of boredom, aided by a young american "pet lamb" of an actress friend of grant's wished onto him by her as much to get him out from under her and the rest of the company's feet, heart- or moon-struck as he is with one of their number.
as they look further and deeper into the case against richard III, probably the best-known "evil uncle" in history, the more worried they become not only by its weaknesses, but by mounting inconsistencies and even sheer idiocies in the story everyone knows, familiar not least from shakespeare. . .


"brat farrar", first published 1949, is a novel based in part upon the tichborne case, a victorian cause célébre in which a man known as thomas castro, by trade a butcher of wagga wagga in new south wales, australia, came to britain claiming to be one roger tichborne, a decade after his presumed death in an 1854 shipwreck, and was accepted as such, and the heir to the family title, estate and fortune by lady tichborne - but by nobody else. especially not the other members of the family.
