Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew's seaside vacation takes a dangerous turn when her father vanishes. As she and her friends, Bess and George, delve into the mystery, they encounter tales of a ghostly cave and eerie bell tolls. With frightened townspeople and strange occurrences, Nancy must uncover the truth behind the haunting and her father's disappearance. Can she solve the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

Nancy becomes involved in another mystery when she accepts an invitation from Mrs. Chantrey, a client of Mr. Drew, to vacation at her cottage in a picturesque seaside town. Carson Drew has promised to join his daughter, but fails to arrive. The alarming disappearance of Mr. Drew and the odd circumstances surrounding his rescue are only the start of a series of highly dangerous adventures for Nancy and her friends Bess and George. Mrs. Chantrey’s story about a nearby Cliffside cave reputedly inhabited by a ghost intrigues Nancy and she decides to investigate. Several frightened townspeople claim to have seen an apparition and heard the weird sounds of a tolling bell just before water rushes from the cave. Will Nancy discover the true cause of these mysterious occurences?
