The Clue in the Crossword Cipher is the forty-fourth volume in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series.[1] It was first published in 1967 under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene.[2] The actual author was ghostwriter Harriet Stratemeyer Adams.
A woman named Carla Ponce invites Nancy, Bess, and George to Peru to help decipher the mystery in the crossword cipher—a wooden plaque that promises to lead them to a wonderful treasure. Nancy must find the treasure before a gang of thieves led by El Gato (The Cat) reach it first.
