Before they could translate the cipher, the tablet and Dr. Pitt mysteriously disappeared.

Nancy and her friends follow a series of clues that lead them from River Heights to the Florida Keys and finally to Mexico. The secret to the ancient treasure can only be unlocked by three black keys, and Nancy's investigation involves dodging danger and uncovering the truth behind the stolen artifacts and the missing professor.
