Description
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).
