Young detective Nancy is on a mission to find a missing dancer, but her search leads her to the mysterious Heath Castle. With friends Bess and George, she uncovers secrets hidden within its crumbling walls. As danger looms and enemies thwart their every move, Nancy must unravel a complex puzzle. Can she expose the sinister plot threatening the dancer's inheritance before it's too late? Join Nancy in a thrilling adventure filled with suspense and intrigue.

From the publisher

When Nancy is asked to find a professional dancer who disappeared several years before, the young detective becomes involved in a mystery reaching far beyond a missing-person’s case. During Nancy’s investigation at Heath Castle, she and her friends Bess and George realize that its crumbling walls contain a secret, but what is it? And who are their enemies that try to foil their every attempt to unravel the intricate puzzle? Danger lurks in a castle tower and throughout the vine-tangled grounds of the estate. The girls’ gripping adventures culminate in a dramatic climax when Nancy exposes a sinister plot to defraud the dancer of her inheritance.
