Back Cover Summary[]
Claudia is helping Rebecca Madden prepare to sell her grandmother's house. Grandmother Madden was a famous artist, and finding more of her valuable paintings would help Rebecca and her family a lot. But everybody says it's impossible: Grandmother Madden destroyed all of her paintings before she died.
Claudia thinks everybody is wrong—no artist would destroy her life's work. But if she's going to prove her theory, Claudia will have to work fast. Everything in the house will be sold in less than a week!
