Remember when the Nancy Drew(R) PC games just started with a letter? We've updated the games since then with more heart-pounding opening sequences, but we know you still love the letters. So, as a tribute to the past 15 games, here's the letter that would have appeared at the beginning of The White Wolf of Icicle Creek.- n Y8 V Y# g w8 v/ s

The woman who runs the Lodge called me out of the blue, saying that Bet and Ed Rawley from Shadow Ranch (Aunt Bet and Uncle Ed to you!) had recommended me. She sounded so desperate that I couldn't refuse.

The connection was getting really bad, and I could barely hear her, but I'm pretty sure she used the word "prowling" (or was it "howling"?) along
