The Forgers

By Bradford Morrow
The Forgers by Bradford Morrow digital book - Fable

Publisher 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).

“I liked that the narrator was a reformed forger. I liked the way he talked about forging and the beauty he gave it. The romance and protection angle was okay. I guess I just wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this one, so I think that affected the way I read it.”
“The Forgers by Bradford Morrow starts with rare book collector, Adam Diehl, being found with both of his hands cut off.  His sister Meghan is left with the repercussions of his death, and her boyfriend, Will, another rare book collector, but also a convicted forger who still feels the itch. Will and Meghan try to start their life anew, but someone knows about Will's past, and writes to him in the handwriting of long death author's.  The same someone who tipped the police off about Will's forging.   This is a suspenseful book, with twists and turns.  I enjoyed the ride, and was kept guessing all the way along.  The Forgers  by Bradford Morrow was published on 5th November 2020, and is available from  Amazon ,  Waterstones  and your  local independent bookshop . You can follow Bradford Morrow on  Twitter ,  Facebook  and his  website . I was given this book in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to  Atlantic Books .”
