Nancy Drew, Frank Hardy and Joe Hardy join the search for a stolen diamond, with Frank and Joe motivated partly by a reward.
The search involves a fight on a speeding train, a runaway locomotive and threats intended to derail the search for clues.
The detectives suspect that actress Kate Harkins has been kidnapped after her sudden exit from the journey.
The book may invite discussion about how detectives respond when curiosity, money and responsibility pull in different directions, and whether dramatic danger helps or distracts from solving the case.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
