Amateur sleuth Drew Nance and her father Attorney Carson Nance are conducting a secret investigation of a criminal world hidden behind the facade of business and high finance – a criminal world that caused the death of Drew’s uncle David and her cousin Jane. But they know that pursuing the case will be a long drawn-out process – they have to go slow as they work behind the scenes to unearth the truth, otherwise they run the risk of ending up like her uncle and cousin. So it could be years before they have enough to bring the bad guys down. In the meantime, along with her new best friends Callie Shaw and Iola Morton, Drew has to contend with the trials and tribulations of high school life full of teenage crushes, petty jealousies, high school cheerleaders, bullies and other young adult drama. Drew copes in her own inimitable way, and distracts herself from such picayune concerns by pursuing "cases" of her own. But it’s not so easy. Especially because they’re not really the Nances – their identities were actually covers concocted by her dead uncle and his friend, New York police lieutenant Frank Hardy. It’s especially hard since Drew was actually a boy… (This story was inspired by, but is otherwise unconnected to the Nancy Drew stories.)   Also, the graphics here are collages of publicly-accessible material.
