B.A. Shapiro


B.A. Shapiro is joining Books & Books to discuss her literary thriller, The Art Forger, which topped the New York Times
bestseller list and was a #1 Indie Next Pick. Almost 25 years after 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 bargain with a powerful gallery owner by
agreeing to forge a Degas in exchange for a one-woman show at his
renowned gallery. But as she begins her work, she starts to suspect that
this long-missing masterpiece may itself be a forgery. Shapiro
brilliantly evokes the rarefied art world in this inventive,
entertaining mystery. Don't miss your chance to meet with Shapiro to
discuss her work!
