Imogen Stahl has spent fifty years reading handwriting: what training shows, what haste hides, what age can and cannot fake.
When a psalter surfaces from a sixty-three-year-old Vermont bequest - genuine, thirteenth-century, unremarkable - it should be a footnote. Then Vivian Crewe finds three lines added to its final leaves: a colophon naming Hugo of Saundby, England's most celebrated and least-often-signed medieval scribe, already appraised as the discovery of a lifetime by a professor with twenty years and a monograph riding on being right.
Something is wrong with the hand.
What Imogen finds when she looks will reach back a hundred years: a forger who defeated every bench test with real materials and real ink, an engraver's private habit hiding in a facsimile no one thought to question, and a correspondence forty years deep that may be the only instrument sharp enough to catch it. What the room proves will cost one man everything he built on never looking twice.
The Misattributed Hand is the second novel in The Calder College Mystery Society series.
