The Secret of the Old Clock

A wealthy man's death, a shocking will, and a desperate race for justice. When eccentric millionaire Josiah Crowley passes away, the town of River Heights is stunned to learn he left his entire fortune to the snobbish, greedy Topham family - leaving his kind, impoverished relatives with absolutely nothing. Driven by a fierce sense of fair play, sixteen-year-old Nancy Drew suspects foul play and a modern injustice. Armed with sharp logic, a sleek blue roadster, and a relentless drive for the truth, Nancy sets out on a high-stakes investigation to find a rumored second will. From a terrifying confrontation with a ruthless gang of thieves at a ransacked summer bungalow to a heart-pounding race against time, Nancy must risk everything to solve the mystery of the old clock. Experience the "Girl Detective" as she was first imagined.
