The forger door Robert O'Neill
Shadow

Karen Sharp was a forger (somebody who replaces the original painting by a the copy). When she has forged a painting, she brought it to Mr. Sharp (her father) in Switzerland.
Inspector Moore knew that Sharp was a forger. He sent David Rutland to Sharp to become his assistant and to look how the forger did his work.
David went to Orton International Art Gallery and he wanted to sell two paintings to Mr. Orton. Because Mr. Orton wanted to first judge the paintings and so David went away without money. The next day, he went to Orton and Orton told him that the paintings were forgings.
A Dutch painter, Jan de Groot, has painted “The women with the green eyes”, but when Jan de Groot died, the paining was disappeared.
In the house of Sharp was a little room, where nobody was allowed to come except him, but when Sharp was phoning, David looked in the room and he found there the painting of Jan de Groot “The women with the green eyes”. But it was a copy.
One morning David went to London with George en Harry but he knew that they would kill him and therefore, he put a knife under his watch.
Then the car stopped, Harry got out. A few minutes later Harry cried that he found the spot. George looked to Harry and then it happened: David did his knife through George’s hand. There was a fight. Later David phoned the police. Sharp, Orton, George and Harry were put in prison.
A few months later it was discovered that the painting “The women with the green eyes” was made by Sharp. He explained: Everybody thinks that I am a forger, but it is my work, but nobody bought the paintings and therefore I put those name around.
