For forty-one years, Desmond Okonkwo has trusted his hands to tell him the truth about a book. At seventy-two, they tell him something he does not want to hear.
When a bequest arrives at the Brandt Reading Room - ninety books from a woman in Rhode Island who read for sixty years and never spent much - a battered four-dollar navigation manual should be the least interesting object in the crate.
Something has been done to it that no worthless book has ever deserved.
What Des finds, one careful observation at a time, leads back to the finest conservation ever performed in this country - and to the one repair that was never meant to be found. Proving it will mean reckoning with a craft that prizes invisibility above all things, a scholar who was certain he had done nothing wrong, and a woman who has kept a silence for fifty-four years for reasons entirely her own.
Some repairs save an object. This one may have rewritten it.
What the Repair Concealed is the fifth novel in The Calder College Mystery Society series.
