Daughter of Time is a historical mystery novel written by Josephine Tai Caliso. The so-called case in the novel is a well-known story in English history: Richard III murdered two little princes imprisoned in the Tower of London in order to usurp the throne.

The suspect's "crime" is outrageous and even more thought-provoking. However, based on his careful reasoning and information provided by an American employee of the British Museum, Inspector Grant in the hospital bed overturned the historical conclusion 400 years ago.

Extended data:

Daughter of Time is an absolutely unprecedented and possibly unique book in the history of mystery novels, not because it is still voted as the first work of historical reasoning by the American Detective Writers Association (the second place is the famous work The Name of a Rose by Amboto Eco), but because of its unparalleled attempt, writing style and achievements.

Generally speaking, historical reasoning is still a virtual way of romance. Writers use a certain period of time, figures, legends or events in history to throw out a criminal story in an attempt to produce chemical changes from it, thus colliding with sparks of different interests.

But this is not the case with Daughter of Time. It does not evade or invoke the privilege that "novelists can make fiction" and directly attacks an almost unshakable historical conclusion in the past 400 years. It is more rigorous and open than most orthodox historical works.
