THE CLUE IN THE CRUMBLING WALL

When Nancy is asked to find a professional dancer who
disappeared several years before, the young detective be-
comes involved in a mystery reaching far beyond a
missing-person's case.
Clues lead to a huge estate which the dancer is to
inherit if she can claim it in time. During Nancy's in-
vestigation at Heath Castle, she and her friends Bess
Marvin and George Fayne realize that its crumbling
walls contain a secret, but what is it? And who are their
enemies that try to foil their every attempt to unravel
the intricate puzzle?
Danger lurks in a castle tower and throughout the
vine-tangled grounds of the estate. The girls' gripping
adventures culminate in a dramatic climax when Nancy
exposes a sinister plot to defraud the dancer of her
inheritance.
