The Clue in the Diary

The story is about a man who has made his money basically by cheating other people out of their patents. The guy's house blows up and burns down, and no trace of the guy can be found. Meanwhile, one guy who is an inventor but was cheated by the man has a wife and daughter who are poverty-stricken.

Nancy is at the house soon after it explodes and finds a diary written in Swedish. From that point on she's involved in the mystery, trying to find out why the house exploded, what happened to the man who cheated others, and trying to find a way to help the inventor, his wife and child. It's another of the greed-oriented stories and rather good.
