After twenty years on the straight and narrow, reformed literary forger Will finds himself ensnared in a plot to counterfeit the rarest book in American literature: Edgar Allan Poe’s Tamerlane, of which only a dozen copies are known to exist.
Mr. Morrow’s tale of an illicit craft conveys plenty of technical information, but it’s generally well-woven into the narrative. His sympathetic cast of characters—Henry aside—face difficult moral choices and try to prove the old cliché that there is honor indeed among (literary) thieves.
You don't have to be a book collector or a lover of antiquarian books to enjoy The Forger's Daughter, as it merely provides the backdrop for this classy literary thriller.
