Dorothy Dixon, a daring young pilot with a sharp eye for trouble, finds herself battling a storm‑battered night sky when fuel runs low and the forest below offers no clear runway. With her friend Betty clinging to the rear seat, Dorothy pulls off a hair‑raising emergency landing in a hidden meadow on the edge of a remote New York State reservation. The crash leaves them shaken but unhurt, and the quiet of the woods is quickly broken by an unexpected discovery—a weather‑worn sign pointing toward the nearby Conway House.
Drawn by curiosity and a promise of answers, the two women trek toward the old mansion, where locals whisper about strange lights and missing supplies. As they explore the creaking rooms, Dorothy’s instinct for puzzles kicks in, and she begins to suspect that the house harbors more than just dust and memories. The stage is set for a clever, fast‑moving mystery that will test her courage and her knack for untangling secrets.
