Nancy Drew's friend Emily Crandall has lost her family jewels. They were stolen at Lilac Inn, and it's up to Nancy to find the evil crook who took them and return the heirlooms to Emily. But the world's favorite teen detective never has it easy; on the case, she gets stuck in some deep water-literally-and has to accept help from the river patrol to complete her investigation and capture the culprit.
The Nancy Drew books have delighted generations since they first entered the scene in the 1930s with a strong-willed and smart girl leading their stories.
