	The Joker's Revenge

This page is currently under construction - please return in the future for further information. In the mean time, I have prepared a brief gallery of the covers of The Joker's Revenge

Synopsis (note:  spoiler alert):  Carlin Fitzhugh, the owner of Chicago's most successful department store, asks Nancy to go undercover when a series of practical jokes plague his business.  Every prank is followed by the receipt of a playing card - - the joker, naturally.  Nancy learns that there's a very serious nature to all the trickery.  With everyone off-balance from the constant pranks, a major heist is being masterminded.  The kingpin is revealed to be the store's manager, Bennett Lloyd, hungry for revenge against Carlin's supposed poor treatment of Bennett.
