The Birthday Present by Barbara Vine
An engaging historical tale from a much-loved author - London, 1890. Singer Rose Paton is confident that, with her looks, youth, and talent, she's destined for greater things. When mysterious stranger Marcus Bennley asks her to sing at his sister's birthday party, as his present to her, she accepts for the half a guinea - more than two weeks' wages. But will the deal be quite so sweet as promised, or has Rose made a terrible mistake entangling herself with the Bennleys?
The Minotaur, The Blood Doctor, and Anna's Book are among Barbara Vine's best-selling novels. Both as Barbara Vine and as Ruth Rendell, she has received numerous literary accolades, including three Edgar Awards and four Gold Daggers.
