Sharon Cameron’s historical fiction books are equal parts thriller and history. Her most recent, Artifice, takes place in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, where high-ranking Nazis are buying up Vermeers and other Old Masters with a vengeance—not realizing that some of the works they’re acquiring are forgeries. Such an inspirational book and based on the true stories of Han Van Meegeren, a master art forger who sold fakes to Hermann Goering and Johann van Hulst. He is credited with saving 600 Jewish children from death in Amsterdam. ARTIFICE author Sharon Cameron weaves a gorgeously evocative thriller simmering with twists that look for the forgotten color of beauty even in an ugly world.
