Almost twenty-five 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 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.
