When Mrs. Putney seeks Nancy Drew's help in recovering her stolen
jewelry, the search for the thieves takes the teen-age detective and her
friends Bess and George to the colorful French Quarter of New Orleans.
But the quest is hampered by the strange behavior of Mrs. Putney, and
two young women who are being victimized by so-called spirits. How can
Nancy fight these unseen perpetrators of a cruel hoax? And how can she
help the gullible victims when the spirits warn them not to have
anything to do with Nancy?
