Synopsis

Nagourney takes her readers on a deep plunge into the dark underside of the Parisian and French high art milieu, casting unwelcome light on the low lives who play an outsized role in that milieu. Her fast-paced page turner, populated by multiple and ever-changing personalities, keeps us guessing not so much “who-dunnit” but “are they really going to get away with it?” -- Tom Peebles, TomsBooks

Welcome to A Forgery in Paris
When an old-school friend is mugged after taking photographs at a wealthy magazine
publisher’s château, a French-American translator teams up with a disgruntled FBI agent to
infiltrate a violent organized crime operation in a world of villas and galleries, navigating a
lethal atmosphere of art, money, and murder.
When her school pal is mugged on the Paris metro, recently-returned translator Alex
Thornhill becomes certain that powerful magazine publisher Jacques Mornnais is behind the
attack. Alex adopts a false identity and joins Mornnais' company in his secluded villa,
discovering an entire operation of stolen paintings and international art cons. She begins a
tenuous relationship with disgruntled FBI agent Eugene Spector, who is working his own
investigation of the forgers.

About the French Deception Series
Pulsing with an exquisite, authentic eye for the richly textured world it inhabits, A Forgery in
Paris is the first book in the series French Deception. The series combines compelling
characters, surprising plot twists, and continental intrigue as the story moves from Paris and
its outskirts to the cities of Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse.
Beneath the tales of art capers gone wrong lies a deeper theme: Deception—how we deceive
others and ourselves. In this series, deception becomes a trap from which no one escapes,
driving the story toward its stunning conclusion in Montenegro.
