In this time-travel-themed installment, Nancy Drew finds herself transported back to the 1930s while investigating a case in her hometown of River Heights. Suddenly in a different era—with vintage cars, flapper dresses, and Prohibition-era tension—Nancy must solve a mystery involving stolen money, suspicious characters, and a city caught between progress and crime. As she navigates the unfamiliar past, Nancy uses her wit, courage, and detective instincts to uncover the truth and find her way back to the present. The story combines classic detective elements with historical fiction, offering readers a fresh twist on Nancy’s traditional sleuthing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"857\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"898\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"898\"\u003eAbout the Author – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1684\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarolyn Keene\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pen name used by a series of ghostwriters who have written the \u003cem data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"996\"\u003eNancy Drew\u003c\/em\u003e books since the character’s creation in 1930.
