Boston Book Festival 2018

We’re thrilled to be hosting the launch of B.A. Shapiro’s enticing new literary thriller The Collector’s Apprentice at the BBF this year. Shapiro, who gained a reputation for combining art and intrigue in previous novels like The Art Forger and The Muralist, here offers readers a tale of secret identities, murder, and vengeance set amid the heady 1920s art world in Paris and Philadelphia. Joining Shapiro is Charles Belfoure, whose latest novel, The Fallen Architect, is also a historical thriller about reinvention and redemption, this time about an architect who has collapsed into disgrace after the tragic failure of his signature project. Hosting this conversation about the mysteries that lurk behind architectural facades and beneath artistic masterpieces is novelist Dawn Tripp, author of Georgia and Game of Secrets.

We regret that due to a family emergency, B.A. Shapiro has had to cancel her appearance at the BBF this year. We hope you will enjoy a conversation between Charles Belfoure and Dawn Tripp, and then stick around to purchase copies of Belfoure's novel as well as Shapiro's, available exclusively to BBF attendees before its official on-sale date of 10/16.
