Step into the world of classic mystery fiction.
In her second mystery, Nancy Drew is asked to investigate a haunted house known as the Turnbull Mansion. There are strange shadows at night, birds appear from out of nowhere, and most concerningly, someone keeps stealing valuable items! If Nancy doesn't figure out how to stop the thief, the elderly women will be forced to sell their family home!
Even worse, there's a villain named Nathan Gombet, prowling about. This greedy man is obsessed with the idea that Carson Drew owes him money. He forces his way into the Drew home, he threatens to blow up a bridge, and he'll resort to anything to get his way--even kidnapping!
Nancy tackles tough puzzles and confusing clues, but nothing prepares her for the dramatic ending, where she has to sneak into the culprit's house and find a secret passageway! Can Nancy locate the hidden staircase, stop the ghost and rescue her father, before time runs out?
