Story Synopsis
Nancy Drew, along with her loyal friends Bess Marvin and George Fayne, travels to the beautiful shores of Hawaii to solve a baffling puzzle centered around a mysterious family estate called Kaluakua. The investigation begins when Carson Drew is asked to help a young man named Kiyabu, whose grandfather’s will has seemingly disinherited the family in favor of a total stranger.
The key to the inheritance lies within an ornate, antique structure known as the Golden Pavilion. As Nancy delves into the mystery, she encounters a shadowy pair of siblings who also claim to be the rightful heirs and a series of dangerous sabotage attempts. From escaping volcanic steam vents to chasing down a trio of art thieves, Nancy’s Hawaiian adventure is a thrilling blend of exotic setting and classic sleuthing.

Collector's Information
This 1959 "Yellow Spine" edition is highly sought after for its original, unrevised text. Unlike earlier volumes in the series (1-34), The Secret of the Golden Pavilion was never revised, meaning the text in this edition is the same as the original 1959 printing. It features a “white-endpages” multi-scene design that is distinctive to this era. Reference: nancydrewsleuth.com.
