Fans of classic Nancy Drew mysteries find their new, grown-up heroine in Margot Cranston. Margot returns to Loon Lake for her high school graduation celebration, joined by her niece Amy and nephew Andy. When a sudden lightning strike plunges the banquet hall into darkness, the night erupts into confusion. Margot restores the power-only to discover that her prized antique clock, proudly displayed moments earlier, has vanished. Stolen in the chaos. Hidden with purpose. As Margot investigates, she quickly realizes the theft was no impulsive act. Someone at the inn quietly prepared for this moment-someone who knows the building's forgotten corners, its buried history, and its secrets sealed away for decades. What begins as a simple reunion spirals into a dangerous chase through shadowed hallways, locked rooms, hidden stairs, and the long-concealed past of Loon Lake itself. With Amy and Andy at her side, Margot follows a trail of clues that exposes hidden motives, silent accomplices, and a scheme far more elaborate than anyone suspects. The closer she gets to the truth, the more perilous the investigation becomes. A celebration becomes a fight for her life, as Margot Cranston unravels the shocking mystery at Loon Lake. David W. Menefee is the author of The Questionable Olga Schumaker Story series that includes SKY KING, The Final Journey to the Center of the Earth, ZION, RA, and DEITY, Satan's AI, as well as The Remarkable Mr. Messing, Brothers of the Storm, Charlie O'Doone's Second Chance, and EPIC.
