The Mystery of the Fire Dragon
Book 38 of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series
182 pages · First published 1961
Nancy Drew’s investigation takes her to Hong Kong and into a mystery involving a fire dragon, international travel, and people whose identities or motives are difficult to read. The exotic symbol becomes linked to a real criminal scheme rather than remaining merely decorative folklore. Nancy must navigate unfamiliar surroundings while protecting friends drawn into the case. Carolyn Keene’s Nancy Drew mystery combines travel, danger, and clue-driven detection in an adventure that expands the series well beyond River Heights.
