The Secret of the Old Clock

This is a Boundary Bay Classics edition of The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene, first published in 1930 by Grosset & Dunlap. Sixteen-year-old Nancy Drew takes up the case of a missing will, believed to have left an elderly man's fortune to deserving relatives rather than the grasping Topham family. Her search leads her through storms, a suspicious junk truck, and a kidnapping before the will's secret hiding place -- inside an old clock -- is finally uncovered. "Carolyn Keene" is a house pseudonym; this original text was written by Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. This edition reproduces the original 1930 text and is public domain in the United States.
