EDITING: Politics and Poison

Nancy Drew is all grown up. Now training to be an FBI agent, she takes advantage of her holidays, to visit her father in River Heights. He is a headline speaker at a local convention that has attracted international attention and important legal figures from across the country, including his best friend, American detective Fenton Hardy and his two sons. Joe has become a detective for his local police force, and Frank is studying at Columbia, to become a lawyer.

Nancy is confused by her feelings, when she sees Frank Hardy for the first time in three years, and his presence rekindles emotions of regret, anger and love. However, it soon becomes clear that there are more important things to be focusing on, when an important speaker dies in an abrupt, and gruesome manner. The three team up once more, to ensure that nobody else dies, and to bring a killer to justice. Will they be able to solve the case after years of following other interests? And will Nancy and Frank cast aside their differences and become friends once more?
