Description
Almost twenty-five years after the infamous art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardiner 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 one hundred 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.
