Caught in a storm on Moon Lake, Nancy Drew and Helen Corning are rescued by Laura Pendleton. Their gratitude soon gives way to concern: the young orphan is living in fear under the control of her guardian, Jacob Aborn, at a bungalow beside Lake Melrose. Aborn restricts Laura's spending and leaves the house carrying mysterious packages. Nancy senses that her new friend needs more than reassurance. Her questions lead her toward another bungalow, abandoned and hidden in the woods, where the search for answers brings dangers of its own. Trust, suspicion, and a friendship forged in a storm shape Nancy's third adventure. First published in 1930, this mystery follows her into an unsettling case in which appearances can be deceiving. This edition presents the original text.
