Media Lunch with Karen Millie-James

The Forger’s Game by Rob Starr
This week saw the publication of The Forger's Game by Rob Starr, the third book in the Kiara Fox series.
The Forger’s Game is a gripping addition to the Kiara Fox series and is a dark, immersive thriller about obsession, deception, and the true cost of priceless art. Five years ago, a young gallery assistant died in a devastating fire, clutching a painting she loved. Years later, insurance investigator Kiara Fox glimpses the impossible – the same paintings, alive and intact. But if the artwork survived, how could the fire have been an accident, and where are the people responsible?
