About This Book

A resourceful teenage reporter balances household life and newspaper duties when she is sent to cover a high-society wedding at a remote estate reachable only by a drawbridge. While pursuing the assignment she discovers a series of puzzling incidents — a missing bridegroom, cryptic clues, a forbidden pool, a hidden retreat, and a cameo pin — and pieces the evidence together. Through interviews, stakeouts, and a daring rescue, she exposes the scheme behind the disappearances and resolves the mystery, combining sleuthing, persistence, and local cooperation to bring the truth to light.
