Ilya That sounds intriguing! Our book club is reading The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro next month, so this could be a nice complementary piece.

Aly Lauck For sure!!! I read it on audiobook. It’s not very long, so it wouldn’t be a very heavy piece or overwhelming!

Jonathan K (Max Outlier) Agreed..I'd recommend you read "True Story" as well..the film with Noah Hill and James Franco fails to do the story justice however. And if you enjoy fiction, add the Gabriel Allon series of books by Daniel Silva since many have to do with art forgery, heists and spy games

Jonathan K (Max Outlier) My pleasure..I was introduced to Allon with "Portrait of an Unknown Woman" and have become addicted every since. Reading the fourth one now and will likely get to all of them..Silva is a master stortyteller
