About This Book

A spirited teenage sleuth and her friend investigate strange lights and unexplained clues at an abandoned monastery after a midnight outing. Their inquiry moves from vanishing footprints and a crystal ball to locked rooms, warnings from locals, and a map that leads into hidden passages and a subterranean crypt. Facing ritual objects, trickery, and perilous traps, they piece together an older man’s secret, interrupt a cultlike ceremony, recover a precious gem, and rescue those endangered by fire, ultimately unmasking the scheme and restoring safety to the community.
