As her life is slowly torn apart, a terrible logic finally emerges to explain her mothers remoteness, her father's need to continually reinvent himself in his work, and a long-forgotten London murder.

To work through her grief, one of his daughters, Sarah, decides to write a biography of her internationally celebrated father.

Industry Reviews
"In her Barbara Vine incarnation, Rendell has managed to concoct a number of literate suspense novels whose hard crime edge is softened by languorous interior rumination, a near insular sense of place and intrusive characterizations. THE CHIMNEY SWEEPER'S BOY bears all these hallmarks, though it's the quirks, oddities and latticed sense of menace in a picture-perfect realm that sets this book apart from the usual Barbara Vine product-end of the Ruth Rendell mystery manufacturing enterprise."
