Mystery of the Princes: An Investigation

3.11 of 5 stars 3.11  ·  rating details  ·  18 ratings  ·  2 reviews
Whether Richard III murdered his two young nephews, the "Princes in the Tower, " has long been a tantalizing question.

Paperback, 215 pages
Published February 1st 1986 by Academy Chicago Publishers (first published 1978)
