The murder of the Princes in the Tower is the most famous cold
case in English or British history. Traditionally considered
victims of a ruthless uncle, there are other suspects too often
and too easily discounted. There may be no definitive answer, but
by delving into the context of their disappearance and the
characters of the suspects, Matthew Lewis will examine the
motives and opportunities afresh as well as ask a crucial but
often overlooked question: what if there was no murder? What if
Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, survived their
uncle’s reign and even that of their brother-in-law Henry VII?
There are glimpses of their possible survival and compelling
evidence to give weight to those theories which is considered
alongside the possibility of their deaths to provide a rounded
and complete assessment of the most fascinating mystery in
history.
