"In the summer of 1963, American Rupert Brigg travels to Greece to collect classical art pieces for his Uncle William's collection. Rupert's first discovery, however, is that Athens is a shadowy place that hides a tangle of political subterfuge, duplicitous women, and fork-tongued diplomacy; it is a city of replicas and composites that, like a hall of mirrors, calls to question what is real and what is false. As Rupert continues to hunt for his treasure, he finds himself on the secluded island of Aspros, one of a circle of artists and aristocrats, each with his own secrets. Rupert may find the pieces of art that he is searching for, but can he distance himself from the eccentric childhood that hides his true identity? Can he escape the devastating tragedy that put an end to his brief marriage? As beautiful as Rupert's discoveries are, beneath the surface lurk rumors of insurrection, fabrication, and even murder." "Part sly and seductive mystery, part character study of a man both coming to terms with and escaping tragic loss, Forgery is a book about the value and meaning of art, love, and the corrosive power of grief."--BOOK JACKET.
