Everyone in Belgium, including her own family, believes she stole millions in a sophisticated con game perpetrated by her then-fiance, George Everard. To protect herself from the law and the wrath of those who lost everything, she creates a new identity, a Frenchwoman named Vivienne Gregsby, and sets out to recover her father's art collection, prove her innocence-and exact revenge on George. When the eccentric and wealthy American art collector Edwin Bradley, who is based on real life museum founder Albert Barnes, offers Vivienne the perfect job, she is soon caught up in the Parisian world of post-Impressionists and expatriates-including Gertrude Stein and Henri Matisse, with whom Vivienne becomes romantically entwined. As she travels between Paris and Philadelphia, where Bradley is building an art museum, her life becomes even more complicated: George returns with unclear motives . . . and then Vivienne is arrested for Bradley's murder. B. A. Shapiro has made the historical art thriller her own. In The Collector's Apprentice, she gives us an unforgettable tale about the lengths to which people will go for their obsession, whether it be art, money, love, or vengeance. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Art $x Collectors and collecting $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art thefts $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Sands, Xe, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12226186 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/rcb_9781684416479_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010404.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B2CE536F92411E8AED21B3697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
