Scott Trevor, gold medalist and swimmer has been receiving death threats about his upcoming appearance in the LA Olympics, and after a recent break in, the Hardy Boys have been assigned to protect Scott. But they’re not the only ones making the trip. Nancy Drew and her friends are here too to investigate because their classmate Lexi Adams is getting threats as well. She’s the youngest member of the Olympic fencing team and also happens to be Scott’s girlfriend.
Is it a coincidence they’re being threatened? Or something more sinister? Either way, the sleuths must protect the couple before something bad happens to them both.
Tropes
- The Ace: Scott is considered to be the best swimmer, and it's no lie. When Frank sees Scott swimming he's amazed at how fast he is.
- Chekhov's Gun: It's mentioned several times that Scott is about is to break the record for most medals held by one person. Turns out the one threatening Scott is the current holder of it.
- Red Herring: Two suspects include Scott's ex and Lexi's overprotective father who hates Scott.
- Two Dun It: Turns out there were two separate people behind the threats: the one threatening Scott is the man who wants to keep the record for most medals held by one person, and the one threatening Lexi is Isabelle, a fellow swimmer who's deeply obsessed with Scott.
