Daniel Jakor is one of the most prolific and successful artists of which the world has never heard. Struggling to sell his own art, he soon finds that his true genius lies not in the creation of his own work but in the forgery of the great masters that have come before him--artists like Picasso, Monet, Degas, and Renoir. And with help from Tay Murphy, a corrupt gallery owner in Boston, Daniel soon learns the intricacies of the art world as he becomes a true master himself. But Tay's life is spiraling out of control and his personal demons have brought him to the edge where he hangs on by a thread. Indebted to the mob for more than he can possibly pay back, Tay gets Daniel roped into working for Seamus White, the head of the Irish "family" in New England and an avid art collector. As Seamus' schemes become bolder and bolder, not only pushing the boundaries of Daniel's ability but the limits of forgery itself, only one person can track him down and bring him home: his ex-fiancée who, as an authenticator with famed auction house Sotheby's, discovers his fakes and the actual depths of his trouble. Can she find him before the FBI does? Or will his double-crossing the mob bring his world crashing down around him? More importantly, in the end, if no one knows--if they'll never know--is it really Fake?
