Bookroo's summary

Nancy Drew and her friends are on a mission to solve the mystery of a kidnapped girl and a stolen manuscript. Their investigation takes them from New York to Hong Kong, where they uncover an international smuggling ring. With clever disguises and daring plans, Nancy and her friends face danger at every turn. Can they outsmart the criminals and rescue the missing girl before it's too late? The stakes are high, and the clues are scarce, but Nancy's determination might just crack the case wide open.

From the publisher

Eloise Drew asks her niece to investigate the disappearance of her neighbor, a young university student. In New York, Nancy, Bess and George are drawn into the intrigue and danger of a smuggling ring. Nancy plans a clever ruse: George is disguised as the missing Chinese girl! The girl detective is also suspicious of an unpleasant bookstore owner and his loud, overbearing female customer. A series of clues lead the girls to Hong Kong. Ned, who is studying in Hong Kong, joins them. The amateur detectives follow more clues to the international smuggling ring.
