(S&S plans to issue six books a year.) "She tools around River Heights in an environmentally friendly, gas/electric hybrid car. She uses computers to solve detective work. And she tells = her crime-fighting tales in first person." Meanwhile, the first Nancy Drew mystery still sells; THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK is said to have sold 150,000 hardcovers last year (that's what it says).
