The Clue of the Leaning Chimney by Carolyn Keene
A rare and valuable Chinese vase is stolen from a pottery shop, and Dick Milton, the owner, asks Nancy for help. The young detective is tasked to find the thief and the missing ornament and locate a leaning chimney. This chimney marks a discovery that will solve Dick’s financial problems. During her investigations, Nancy finds the leaning chimney, which only leads her to more puzzles. Are there connections between the theft of the rare vase, several similar crimes, and the strange disappearance of a Chinese pottery expert and his daughter? This book is the revised text. The original story's plot (©1949) is similar, with minor revisions.
