The Nancy Drew Files #95

An Instinct for Trouble

Carolyn Keene

THE CASE: Nancy investigates a pattern of sabotage and poaching on an animal research project.

CONTACT: While Ned trails the yellow-bellied marmot, Nancy tracks a criminal conspiracy.

SUSPECTS: Professor Dan Trainey-His project is running out of money, but with the marmots worth $500 each, he may have discovered a way to keep it going. Jack Billings-The park ranger is Mr. Charm, but while he's flirting with Nancy, she may be flirting with danger. Gerald and Edith Turkower-They claim to be tourists, but Nancy has uncovered evidence that they're concealing their true identities.

COMPLICATIONS: One of Nancy's top suspects is Professor Trainey. But Ned seems to care more about him-and his pretty daughter-than he does about Nancy and the truth.

“Nancy!" Bess Marvin exclaimed. "Listen -that's Randy Dean's new song, 'Lonely Wilderness.' “She leaned forward and turned up the volume on the car radio, then rolled down her window.

And the trees sway against the blue, blue sky.

But there's danger lurking nearby.

Yes, danger nearby.

"It's like it was meant for us," Bess said when the song ended. "I mean, here we are, with the trees swaying against the blue sky."

Nancy Drew brushed a lock of shoulder length, reddish blond hair off her face. "Let's hope there's no danger lurking nearby."

"These mountains and forest are gorgeous," Bess said. "And Yellowstone is supposed to be even better-one of the most beautiful places on earth."
