Reprint[]
In a 2007 Borders exclusive, Simon & Schuster reprinted this Files book, along with the Deadly Intent and Murder On Ice, in a "Super Special Edition" under the Nancy Drew: Girl Detective banner. This edition uses the artwork from the 2001 reissue of Digest #85 The Secret of Shady Glen, even though the back cover erroneously gives the artwork a copyright date of 1988.
