New York Times bestselling author B.A. Shapiro has made the historical art thriller her own with such novels as The Muralist and The Art Forger. Now, with The Collector’s Apprentice—her third, boldest, and unrivaled book—Shapiro takes readers to Paris in the 1920s and the ever-fascinating world of Gertrude Stein’s salon. The result, like all of Shapiro’s much-loved work, is a seamless blend of art history and fictional narrative. Shapiro has taught sociology at Tufts University and creative writing at Northeastern University.
