For more on that, it looks like The King's Grave: The Discovery of Richard III’s Lost Burial Place and the Clues It Holds also by author Michael K. Jones is the one to investigate.
Otherwise, "Bosworth 1485" is a terrific history of the background and events of Richard's brief 1483-1485 reign and Henry Tudor's revolt and the final battle of Bosworth. It provides some of the case against the Tudor propaganda of Shakespeare's Richard III while still acknowledging that Richard III is the main suspect in the deaths of his nephews (aka "The Princes in the Tower").
My favourite Richard III book is still the historical fiction The Daughter of Time (1952) by Josephine Tey which is one of the greatest cold case mystery books ever. ( )
