Synopsis: When Nancy Drew receives a mysterious letter from England, she discovers that it was intended for another girl with the same name—Nancy Smith Drew. The letter concerns a valuable inheritance, and Nancy sets out to locate the missing heiress. At the same time, the mailbag of elderly mail carrier Ira Nixon is stolen, and Nancy becomes involved in the investigation. As she follows clues connected to the theft, she uncovers a sinister scheme involving Edgar Nixon, a dangerous man who intends to marry the unsuspecting heiress and steal her fortune.

Nancy's search takes her from River Heights to Emerson College and beyond, where she encounters suspicious characters, strange messages, and several dangerous situations. With the help of her friends and her own determination, she races to find Nancy Smith Drew before Edgar Nixon can carry out his plan. In this revised 1968 edition, the action is streamlined and intensified as Nancy faces perilous traps and a thrilling pursuit to protect the innocent heiress and bring the villain to justice.
