The Art Forger  by Barbara Shapiro

Fictionalized version of what may have become of several paintings stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. This book roped me in with a blend of fact vs. fiction, intrigue vs. romance, artistic passion vs. cutthroat business practices.  Well written and good story line posing interesting questions: what would you do for money & prestige?  Where does ethics stop and survival take over?  The story concludes, but leaves you wondering: all those priceless paintings you see in museums - are they authentic?
