The Chimney Sweeper's Boy



Six of Barbara Vine's bestselling backlist titles stunningly rejacketed to coincide with the paperback of The Birthday Present

When successful author Gerald Candless dies of a sudden heart attack, his eldest, adoring daughter Sarah embarks on a memoir of him and soon discovers that her perfect father was not all he appeared to be. That, in fact, he wasn't Gerald Candless at all. But then, who was he? And what terrible secret had driven him to live a lie for all those years?
