A mansion mystery with a property puzzle

A call from Helen Corning brings Nancy to an old family mansion, where unexplained sounds and shadows have unsettled its residents. At the same time, a warning at Nancy’s home points to a missing landowner whose testimony could affect a railroad property dispute. The two threads give this mystery both an eerie-house question and a search tied to land ownership. The description presents Nancy and her father Carson investigating how the strange events and the missing man’s case connect, making detection the link between the mansion’s unsettling appearances and a practical legal conflict.

Book overview

Nancy Drew and The Hidden Staircase hits the big screen in March of 2019! Read the classic book that inspired the movie!

After receiving a call from her friend Helen Corning, Nancy agrees to help solve a baffling mystery. Helen's Aunt Rosemary has been living with her mother at the old family mansion, and they have noticed many strange things. They have heard music, thumps, and creaking noises at night, and seen eerie shadows on the walls. Could the house be haunted?

Just as soon as she hangs up the phone, a strange man visits Nancy's house to warn her and her father that they are in danger because of a case he is working on buying property for a railroad company. This warning leads Nancy and her father Carson to search for the missing Willie Wharton, a landowner, who can prove he signed away his land to the railroad and save the railroad from a lawsuit. Will Nancy be able to find the missing landowner and discover how these mysteries are related?
