Against the Rules

WHEN A MURDERER BREAKS RANKS, IT’S UP TO NANCY TO TAKE COMMAND

Nancy, Bess, and George have been invited to the Stafford Military Academy’s gala centennial celebration, a weekend of dining and dancing with good-looking guys in uniform. But the festivities take an ugly and tragic turn when one good soldier — Sergeant Stephanie Grindle — becomes a casualty . . .of murder!

Nancy’s escort, Captain Nicholas Dufont, has the potential to be a major distraction. But this case requires all of her attention. Behind the military facade, Stafford is a hotbed of hidden rage and secret scandals. And someone at the academy is on a personal mission: Do anything to stop Nancy Drew from uncovering the truth!
