About

A daughter setting out to write a biography of her author father uncovers deadly secrets in his past. After celebrated author Gerald Candless dies of a heart attack, his daughter Sarah sets out to write his life story. But Sarah soon learns that although Gerald passionately loved his two daughters, he had a complicated and mysterious private life. The more she uncovers, the deeper Sarah's fascination grows for a man who was always present in her life but was never what he seemed. If Sarah can get to the bottom of her father's past, she stands a chance of healing her family and saving her own divided soul. An ingeniously plotted mystery, The Chimney Sweeper's Boy tells of the secrets we keep hidden even from those we love.
