We are so looking forward to chatting with author and historical sleuth, Philippa Langley, about her book "The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case" and her discovery of the grave of King Richard III in 2012. Join us as she discusses her research methods, her team, her findings, and how solving this cold case effects our understanding of the royal monarchy (in the 1500s, of course).

NOTE: This program  will NOT be recorded.
