"The Paris Deception" by Bryn Turnbull tells the story of two women who risked everything to rescue art from the Nazis in World War II-era Paris. Sophie, an art restorer, is forced to work for the regime, restoring damaged art that has been stolen from Jewish families. Her widowed sister-in-law, Fabienne, was a rising bohemian star until the Nazis clamped down on her kind of art. Together, the women hatch a plan to rescue art and artists alike who have been deemed "degenerate" by the regime, replacing key pieces of art with perfectly forged pieces. Even with their skills, however, time is not always on their side.
