Nancy Drew Diaries 8 – The Magician’s Secret

This is the eight book of The Nancy Drew Diaries. In it, a major magic trick leads to missing murder evidence.

When Nancy attends a performance by the illusionist Drake Lonestar, she is skeptical. Lonestar is known for his razzle-dazzle wizardry, but can the magician really make the River Heights library disappear?

It turns out, he can—but that’s not the only thing that goes missing. Key evidence to an upcoming murder trial disappears in the midst of the trick. And one of the trial attorneys just happens to be Nancy’s father, assisted by her boyfriend, Ned Nickerson.

Nancy, Bess, and George are quick to jump on the case, but not quick enough: Lonestar has vanished, too, and nobody knows his whereabouts.

Is this a mystery Nancy can solve?
