Summary

When Nancy and her chums, Bess and George, sign up for a bicycle tour around Ireland they don't expect to be thrust into mystery mode. However, several of the other participants in the tour raise Nancy's suspicions: a dark character who lacks one pinky, an eager-beaver journalist, and two mysterious girls from Australia. Nancy unravels the truth about Rhonda and Rachel but finds herself in a race against time to save them from danger.

Adaptation

The 19th installment in the Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure game series by Her Interactive, named Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy , is loosely based on the novel.
