When taking shelter from a storm, sixteen-year-old Nancy Drew meets the family of a wealthy, recently deceased man. While the man had told his family that his will would take care of them, the will that finally emerged leaves everything to a well-off—and disliked—relative. Everyone expects there’s a second will hidden somewhere, but can Nancy find it?
This book, published in 1930, is the first in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series of novels. The novel was later completely revised in 1959 by Harriet Stratemeyer Adams; this Standard Ebooks edition follows the first edition text.
