The Blyton Hills Summer Detective Club was once the talk of their hometow: a group of preteen sleuths who spent every school break busting sheep smuggling rings and pirate jewelry thieves. But in the summer of 1977, they take on the case that will haunt them the rest of their lives: that of the Sleepy Lake Monster. While they catch the culprit (yet another man in a costume, searching for hidden treasure and scaring away his competitors), they are unable to forget the horrifying things they saw in the dilapidated mansion at the center of Sleepy Lake. Thirteen years later, Andy, the group tomboy, still has unanswered questions and regrets from that night, and breaks out of jail to reopen the case. To do it, she’ll need the help of former child genius Kerri, who spends her nights tending bar, drinking the nightmares away, and taking care of Tim, the grandson of the club’s original dog sidekick. She’ll also need Nate, the occult nerd who checked himself into an asylum, and Peter, the group’s former leader, who died in Hollywood only to end up haunting his childhood friend. Together, they’ll return to their former hometown to end the nightmares—and maybe crack the case once and for all.
