The Forger

First edition. 8vo. Pp. [x], 322, [1]. Grey paper-covered boards, stamped in copper to spine. Jacket design by Sarah K. Delson.

Author's eighth novel. A young American painter on a scholarship to soon-to-be occupied Paris is press-ganged by the Resistance to forge the city's masterworks and save the originals from the Nazi invaders. "Full-fleshed personalities, dramatically visual prose, and a strong narrative thrust make this novel a success; details about painting and forgery are an added bonus. Enthusiastically recommended." –Library Journal
