The Art Forger
by B A Shapiro
Boston painter Claire Roth has survived financially by painting reproductions. Influential gallery owner Aiden Markel arrives with a bizarre proposal: her own show if she will forge a copy of a Degas, one of the pictures stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. As she works, Claire and Aiden become lovers, but she doesn't tell him about her discovery that the stolen Degas is itself a copy.
