A stolen identity. A phantom in the garden. And a girl detective branded a criminal. When Nancy Drew visits the atmospheric Lilac Inn to help her friend Emily Crandall, she finds herself in a waking nightmare. Someone is stalking the shadows of the estate - a mysterious girl who looks and acts exactly like Nancy, committing a string of daring thefts to frame her. To clear her name and recover the stolen Crandall diamonds, Nancy must unmask this "ghost" and outsmart a ruthless gang of jewel thieves. From a terrifying kidnapping to a heart-pounding race against a storm-tossed motorboat, Nancy must use every bit of her wit to solve the mystery of the Lilac Inn. This production features the unrevised, 25-chapter text, capturing the original "Girl Detective" in one of her most perilous early adventures - long before it was ever rewritten.
