The Hidden Staircase

Two mysteries. One legendary girl detective. And a mansion that hides a century-old secret. Sixteen-year-old Nancy Drew is called to the aid of the elderly Turnbull sisters, Rosemary and Floretta. Living in a crumbling, atmospheric mansion, the sisters are terrorized by eerie music, flickering lights, and a ghostly figure that seems to vanish into thin air. Is the house truly haunted, or is a sinister force trying to drive them out? But Nancy's focus is split. Back in River Heights, her father, Carson Drew, is being harassed and stalked by the menacing Nathan Gomber, a man who blames the elder Drew for his misfortunes and is thirsty for revenge. From the depths of a lightless cellar to the discovery of a hidden stone stairway, Nancy must use all her wit and courage to protect her father and solve the mystery of the Turnbull mansion. This production features the unrevised, 25-chapter text, capturing the original daring spirit and vintage charm of Nancy Drew before she was ever edited for modern times.
