Bookroo's summary

Nancy, a fearless teenage detective, is on a quest to uncover a hidden treasure. With only half of a map, she must find the man holding the other piece. As she delves into the mysteries of Ship Cottage, danger lurks at every turn. Can Nancy outsmart her adversaries and solve one of her toughest cases yet? The stakes are high, and the treasure's secrets are tantalizingly close.

From the publisher

Prompted by the concerns of a young child, Nancy investigates a small studio on the Chatham estate. She discovers that there is a connection between the mysterious occurrences at Ship Cottage and her search for a treasure island. With only half of a map, Nancy sets out to find the man who possess the rest of the map that will pinpoint the location of buried treasure. Constantly beset by danger and intrigue, Nancy courageously outwits her enemies and solves one of the most challenging cases in her career as a teenage investigator.
