Nancy and her friends must navigate a cruise ship crisis in the first
book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to a classic series.
Nancy, Bess, and George are cruising dangerous waters on a tour of
Alaska. Becca Wright, an old friend of Nancy's, is the Assistant Cruise
Director of the Arctic Star, a posh new ship. But Becca needs Nancy's
help when strange things keep happening aboard the opulent ocean liner:
The swimming pool becomes a floating grave; a famous passenger is
threatened; and even the seemingly innocent mini-golf course becomes a
perilous playground. With the majestic and mysterious Alaskan scenery as
a backdrop, Nancy and company have to find out who's trying to sabotage
the maiden voyage and why.
