Have you read Josephine Tey's _The Daughter of Time_?

Her detective protagonist, Allan Grant, is laid up in hospital, and passes the time investigating the case of the two princes in the tower, using historical records and his on investigative training. Classic stuff.

It's available in the MR Uploads section in BBLF, IMP, LIT, and Mobi formats from Patricia, and ePub format from Alex Bell.
