Alice écuyère ? Etonnant ! On la croyait détective, et la voilà engagée dans un cirque. Un cirque, oui... mais un cirque bien inquiétant, où d'étranges incidents se multiplient et menacent les artistes. Pourquoi Lolita, la jeune trapéziste, est-elle si triste ? Et M. Karl, le directeur, si agressif ?... Auraient-ils quelque chose à cacher ? Comptons sur l'écuyère-détective pour répondre à ces questions !

Nancy, unaided, seeks to find a missing will. To the surprise of many, the Topham family will inherit wealthy Josiah Crowley's fortune, instead of deserving relatives and friends who were promised inheritances. Nancy determines that a clue to a second will might be found in an old clock Mr. Crowley had owned and she seeks to find the timepiece. Her search not only tests her keen mind, but also leads her into a thrilling adventure.

Nancy Drew tackles a mystery professional detectives failed to solve--finding a valuable centuries-old message in a hollow oak tree in Illinois. The plot is vastly different in this extensively revised and shortened version.
