Every age has its heroes, and its villains. Richard III, King of England (1483-1485) was a villain, a monster perhaps, but that&#39;s Shakespeare&#39;s version, sourced from documents which were either pro-Tudor or blatantly anti-York; the War of the Roses &ndash; The Continuation.<br><br>But, was he so very evil? Not according to a small group of enthusiastic individuals called Ricardians who seek to have the truth told. The central character of this work of fiction – Laura Kempe – is determined to undertake her own investigation, using a combination of common sense, instinct and more than a touch of ESP. She gets more than she bargains for however when she reaches for the ultimate prize; the truth about what happened to the &quot;Princes in the Tower&quot; and unwittingly unleashes a chain of events which threaten to destroy her and her travelling companions.<br><br>Witty, amusing and provocative, this is a story overflowing with little-known facts, bizarre encounters and finally, unremitting evil. A traveler&#39;s tale? Absolutely! But, be warned! For those who seek knowledge must come prepared, for often it seems that Truth is jealously guarded to the death, and sometimes beyond!<br><br>Reputed to be the most concise and historically accurate rendering of King Richard III yet set within the confines of an intelligently written, exciting and frequently amusing story line.
