Nancy and her friends are plunged into a network of strange events when they visit Misty Lake. The very night they arrive, they meet pretty, red-haired Cecily Curtis, who seeks Nancy's help in solving two mysteries: one concerning Cecily's fiance, Niko Van Dyke, a popular singer who believes that his record company is cheating him of royalty payments; the other, involving a family treasure hidden before the start of the Civil War--Cecily's only clue being half of a gold locket. Braving a series of dangerous situations and discouraging developments, the alert young detective perseveres in her attempts to solve both mysteries. 178 pages, hardcover from Grosset and Dunlap.
