The Forgers

by Bradford Morrow
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A brutal murder incites paranoia in the rare-book world in a "brilliantly written . . . lethally enthralling" novel of literary suspense (Joyce Carol Oates).

The bibliophile community is stunned when a reclusive collector, Adam Diehl, is found on the floor of his Montauk home: hands severed, surrounded by valuable inscribed books and original manuscripts that have been vandalized beyond repair. Adam's sister, Meghan, and her lover, Will—a convicted if unrepentant literary forger—struggle to come to terms with the incomprehensible murder. But when Will begins receiving threatening handwritten letters, seemingly penned by Henry James and A. Conan Doyle, he's drawn into a web of deception with which he's unnervingly familiar. Yet this time, it's putting his own life in jeopardy.

"From its provocative opening line . . . [The Forgers] takes on a knowing, nourish tone, like a crime movie by the Coen brothers" (The Miami Herald), while "quite skillfully, paying homage to one of Agatha Christie's most famous whodunits. Yet even then, [Morrow] offers a few twists of his own and will keep all but the most astute mystery aficionado guessing . . . until the end" (The Washington Post).
