But this is most certainly not fiction. It is the astonishing narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate cons in the history of art forgery. Stretching from London to Paris to New York, investigative reporters Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo recount the tale of infamous con man and unforgettable villain John Drewe and his accomplice, the affable artist John Myatt. Together they exploited the archives of British art institutions to irrevocably legitimize the hundreds of pieces they forged, many of which are still considered genuine and hang in prominent museums and private collections today.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Laney Salisbury</b>, a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, has reported from Africa, the Middle East, and New York.
