A former police detective investigates two cold case historical mysteries in this two book set. Book One looks at The Princes in the Tower and Book Two looks at The Secret of the Virgin Queen.
The Princes in the Tower
For centuries one great historical crime mystery has been capturing the imagination of the world – the fate of the Princes in the Tower.
Shakespeare casts Richard III as the ultimate villain, murdering his nephews in order to usurp the throne. This has always been the traditional view. In recent years alternative theories have been suggested that let Richard III off the hook and lay the blame elsewhere. However, with the recent discovery of Richard III's body in Leicester a whole new wave of interest has been stirred in all things related to Richard III. Was he really the child killer portrayed by Thomas More and William Shakespeare?
In this short book a retired detective reopens this true crime cold case and attempts to piece together the evidence and answer the great historical crime mystery about what really happened to the young Princes in the Tower.
Were they really murdered? If so, what happened to the bodies and who did the evil deed? Or were they left unharmed and left to live out their days in peace? Was a challenging offered up in place of Richard, Duke of York by Elizabeth Woodville and was that why Henry VII was so concerned by Perkin Warbeck? How much did the sister of the Princes and Henry VII's wife Elizabeth of York actually know about this true crime.
As the author delves deeper into the evidence he finds intriguing facts including doubts about dental evidence used to determine the ages of the skeletons found in the Tower of London, the fact that skeletons were abandoned for years in the Tower after their discovery and details of two mysterious coffins buried at Winsor.
The Secret of the Virgin Queen
After receiving hundreds of requests for another book, the author of the best seller Cold Case Reopened: The Princes in the Tower has finally put pen to paper again.
While researching another historical crime, ex police detective Mark Garber was struck by an old country legend relating to Elizabeth I, the daughter of Henry VIII and the last Tudor monarch.
This book details Mark's investigation into the legend.
It takes him through a nineteenth century publication that was authored by a very famous figure in literature. As Mark investigates that theory, he discovers shocking details that the original author had completely misinterpreted that leads to a conclusion that historians seemed to have glossed over for centuries.
