Intrepid teen detective Goldie Vance is on the case in this acclaimed upper middle-grade graphic novel mystery that reads like Nancy Drew meets Only Murders in the Building.

When current detective Walter encounters a case he can’t crack, he agrees to mentor Goldie in exchange for her help solving the mystery. Will this budding sleuth be the key to revealing the truth, or is she in over her head?

Uncover secrets and adventures around every corner with this double-length detective adventure full of retro flair from New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning writer Hope Larson (All Summer Long), and critically-acclaimed artist Brittney Williams (Mixed-Up, Girl on Fire)!
