Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew faces a dual mystery at a summer resort: a ghostly bridge in the woods and an elusive gang of jewel thieves. As she delves into the eerie tale told by a golf caddy, Nancy must unravel riddles and track down a woman linked to the criminal ring. Can she solve the haunted bridge's secrets and bring the thieves to justice before they strike again?

From the publisher

Mr. Drew is on the trail of an international ring of jewel thieves and asks Nancy to assist him. The trail leads to a summer resort area. Before Nancy has a chance to start work on her father’s case, a golf caddy tells her a frightening tale–in the dense woods nearby is an old wooden footbridge guarded by a ghost! Intrigued by the caddy’s story, Nancy decides to investigate. Several riddles confront the young detective as she attempts to solve the mystery of the haunted bridge and track down a woman suspected of being a key member of the gang of jewel thieves.
