“The Art Forger”
Almost 25 years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum-still the largest unsolved art theft in history-one of the stolen Degas paintings is delivered to the Boston studio of a young artist.
Claire Roth has entered into a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner by agreeing to forge the Degas in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery.
But as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that this long-missing masterpiece-the very one that had been hanging at the Gardner for 100 years-may itself be a forgery.
“The Art Forger” is a thrilling novel about seeing-and not seeing-the secrets that lie beneath the canvas.
