Stopy zločinu (Traces of Crime) - Nancy Drew

Carolyn Keeneová

In the early 1990s, the Czechs published some of the titles from the Nancy Drew Files and Supermysteries series.  Incidentally, there are no Slovak versions. Simon & Schuster indicates that only the first 8 of the titles were licensed, and the contract has expired. I have found evidence of 9 Files and 1 SuperMystery title. The US titles have been confirmed by the Czech National Library database.

The covers all have the "Dobrodružství a Romantika" motto written diagonally to the right of the Nancy Drew banner - it translates to Adventure and Romance.

There is a "Buldok" (bulldog) logo on the books and this is sometimes designated as the "edition" for these books.  I'm not sure if that refers the paperback binding or something else entirely.
