Meet Becky Farwell, a con artist you won’t forget anytime soon. Miss Farwell has many talents. At school, she discovered her mathematical talent, and when she was still very young, she realized she has a gift for distinguishing masterpieces of art from mediocre works. She’s also smart, charming, persistent, and incredibly hardworking.
Her obsession with paintings becomes her curse. Becky lives a double life. In one, she’s a modest employee at the city hall of a small town, with access to the budget. In the other, she’s a successful collector of fine art. The deals get bigger, the stakes higher, and the risks more reckless. Dressed in Yves Saint Laurent suits and with a glass of the finest champagne, Becky always finds a reason to justify herself—yet she feels guilty. How long can talented Miss Farwell keep up a double life?
