Without a Trace is the first title in the series, Girl Detective, in which Nancy was featured as a clever sleuth even after the original Nancy Drew series was ended. Summary of the Book Nancy Drew has to solve a case that eventually becomes two! First, a beautiful Faberge egg has gone missing. Who would have the heart to steal a treasured family inheritance from someone new to town? And as though that wasn’t enough to keep Nancy busy, someone's running through the gardens and ruining all the zucchinis. It's heartbreakingly a big mess, especially for Mr. Safer, who is suspected of crushing the squash! But Nancy is pretty sure Mr. Safer is innocent. Who's the real vegetable vandal?
