The Nancy Drew Files is a detective series started in 1986. It is a spin-off of the original series with a greater emphasis on adventure, crime and romance. The series was aimed at readers over the age of eleven. < p>Nancy Drew returns to high school - but this time the curriculum includes murder. No one has been able to catch the elusive thief who operates in the night corridors of Bedford High. So Nancy begins the investigation as an exchange student. When she meets her contact, Daryl Gray, a gorgeous high school student with violet eyes, Nancy decides that this new case will be very interesting. But she's horribly mistaken. Dangerous secrets lurk in Bedford, and Nancy will experience it first-hand when she takes Daryl for a ride in her Mustang - and the car turns into a ball of fire. Although she has a long list of suspects, Nancy is almost certain she knows who the thief is—until her main suspect is found dead outside the video lab. Suddenly, the investigation turns into a whole new game, a game called murder. And Nancy is the next target. The book formed the basis of the games “Secrets Can Kill” (1998) and “Secrets Can Kill: The Return” (2010) from Her Interactive. Source :
