If you have a mystery to solve, Nancy Drew, girl detective, is the person to call.  This is Nancy's first solo investigation.  It involves a missing will, furniture thieves and some greedy relatives.  Nancy's dad, the famous Carson Drew, is the best lawyer in River Heights and she has learned many of her great sleuthing tricks from watching him solve his cases over the years.  Nancy befriends some relatives of the late Josiah Crowley who would directly benefit if his last will could be found.  As an added bonus, if she is able to solve this case, her enemies, the rude and spoiled Topham sisters, won't get the share of the estate that they think they deserve.  It's all up to Nancy to save the day!
