Nancy Drew is spending Thanksgiving at the University of Utah with her old friend Alison Fernley. But the holiday gets off to a chilling start when Alison's boyfriend, Tyler Conklin, turns up missing, his apartment ransacked. With ties to a radical environmental group that has made big business its #1 target, Tyler has made some powerful enemies. Now, with billions of dollars at stake, Nancy fears that Tyler could end up paying with his life.
Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.
