Bookroo's summary

Teen detective Nancy Drew is on a mission to recover stolen jewelry in New Orleans' French Quarter. But with Mrs. Putney's odd behavior and two women haunted by supposed spirits, Nancy faces a perplexing challenge. Can she unravel the mystery and expose the hoax before the spirits' warnings drive her away? The stakes are high as Nancy navigates deception and danger in a city full of secrets.

From the publisher

When Mrs. Putney seeks Nancy Drew’s help in recovering her stolen jewelry, the search for the thieves takes the teen-age detective and her friends Bess and George to the colorful French Quarter of New Orleans. But the quest is hampered by the strange behavior of Mrs. Putney, and two young women who are being victimized by so-called spirits. How can Nancy fight these unseen perpetrators of a cruel hoax? And how can she help the gullible victims when the spirits warn them not to have anything to do with Nancy?
