Book description
The story of the death, in sinister circumstances, of the boy-king
Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, is one of the
most fascinating murder mysteries in English history. It is a tale with
profound moral and social consequences, rich in drama, intrigue,
treason, scandal and violence. In this gripping book Alison Weir

events leading to their murder and reveals how, why and by whose order
they died. Alison Weir lives and works in Surrey. Her books include
Britain's Royal Families

, Mary, Queen of Scots
and, most recently, Isabella
