Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew faces a real-life mystery when a rare first edition vanishes from a bookstore in an old, eerie house. As she navigates hidden nooks and intriguing suspects, can she uncover the truth before the trail goes cold? Join Nancy, Bess, and George in a thrilling adventure where every corner holds a secret and every clue could lead to the missing treasure. Will Nancy's detective skills be enough to solve the case and surprise her favorite mystery writer, Morton Sandback, with his own lost book?

From the publisher

When Morton Sandback returns to River Heights to read from his latest book at his daughter Julia’s bookstore, they are both surprised when her gift to him, a rare first-edition copy of his first book, disappears.
