MYSTERIES with Nancy

"So, Joe, what do you make of
ATAC sending us on a mission
without telling us what we're
supposed to be looking for?"
"Frank, it's Rockapazooma!
Who cares? We can handle
this."
"I don't know."
"So, George, are you coming
to Rockapazooma with me, or
what?"
"How could I miss a chance to
see my fave band, Lethal
Injection, live? Even Bess
wants in. But we're only going
on one condition: If a case
crops up, you'll leave it to one
of the security guards. Just this
once, Nancy? So we can
actually listen to the music?"
"Where's the mystery in that?"
Danger Overseas
One rock concert.
One big crime.
Three of the best teen
detectives of all time.
"Wow, Joe, I can't believe there
are actually people out there
who would mess around with
all these awesome ancient
ruins."
"Yeah, but Frank, it's because
of them that ATAC sent us
here to Rome, and nothing
beats this Italian food!"
"Nancy, I can't believe it. When
Aunt Estelle invited you to
come on this trip to Italy with
Bess and me, I figured it would
give you a break from
mysteries, and you've still
managed to find one!"
"I know, George, but isn't it
strange to find an American girl
in the middle of Rome with no
memory of how she got here?"
"Something tells me you'll get
to the bottom of it all soon...."
One foreign city. One big
crime.

their concerns. Meanwhile
Nancy Drew, Bess, and
George are staying at the hotel
as guests. They, too, sense
something off about this
particular paradise, and when
they run into Frank and Joe it
seems that no one--not even
an old friend--is above
suspicion.
