Synopsis
A husband-and-wife team of journalists provide this shocking account of how a well- connected con man named John Drewe spent more than a decade flooding the art market with forged paintings, earning a fortune in the process. Drewe found a starving artist and single father named John Myatt who was able to impeccably duplicate artistic masterpieces, but the fakes required the proper documentation verifying the authenticity of the work. Using bribery, counterfeit, and confidence, Drewe was able to either falsify the paperwork, or convince unwitting accomplices to authenticate his forgeries, many of which remain on display in prominent galleries around the world.

Industry Reviews
"Tautly written and assiduously researched by Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo..., [PROVENANCE] has the pace and suspense of a good thriller, and a colorful international cast."
(07/16/2009)

"I'd expected to despise the psychopath at the center of what Scotland Yard called the biggest art fraud of the 20th century. But somehow, from the first page, he got me to drop my guard. Drewe, for all his odious ambitions, is ingenious, persuasive, even brilliant. As I was pulled deeper into his deceptions, I couldn't help admiring this creep."
(07/26/2009)

"A colorful cast and nimble detection make for a thoroughly engrossing tale of warped creativity and monstrous hubris."
