A Forgery in Toulouse by Janice Nagourney Book 4 in the French Deception Series
When criminal art dealer Jacques Mornnais vanishes, he may hold the key to uncovering FBI Agent Eugene Spector’s birth parents. But Eugene isn’t the only one searching for Jacques. As the killer Bruno Edremal—determined to punish those who wronged him—sets out on a path of retribution, Eugene must find Jacques before Bruno does.
In the penultimate chapter of the French Deception series, the stakes have never been higher. The twisted web of international art crime that began in Paris has spiraled across France—from the galleries of Lyon to the coastal underworld of Marseille. Now, in the ancient city of Toulouse, personal redemption, dangerous vengeance, and the hunt for truth collide in a race against time.
