Hello Folks,

I'm trying to identify the title and author of a book with an unusual plot.
It has something to do with a bed-ridden Scotland Yard detective that is
trying to solve a series of murders revolving around the British royal
family several hundred years in the past. The book is at least ten years
old. Beyond that, I have no further clues.

Does this sound remotely familiar to anyone out there? If so, your
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

That would be "Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey.

This sound like Josephine Tey's DAUGHTER OF TIME, in which her series detective, Alan Grant, is in hospital and tries to resolve the question of whether Richard III murdered his nephews in the Tower of London.

This is the famous mystery "Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey. Her D.I..
Alan Grant, is recovering in hospital from a previous wounding and a friend
brings him photographs of famous people from England's past. He is intrigued
by the face of Richard III (?) who is accused of killing the princes in the
Tower of London.

This sounds like Josephine Tey's Daughter of Time, where Inspector Grant
reexamines the Richard III and the boys in the tower murders. It was written in
1952.

This sounds sort of like Josephine Tey's "Daughter of time," involving
Richard III and the two princes in the tower.
