Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints

Where can I get Niko's fingerprint?

  • 1 of 6: There's one in Niko's office, in a place you haven't been able to look before --
  • 2 of 6: -- the locked bookcase.
  • 3 of 6: And sure enough, once the case is open, Nancy alerts you to the presence of a fingerprint on one of the devices on the bottom shelf, the one on the far right. Now how do we collect it?
  • 4 of 6: What you need here is a piece of tape. You used some before, remember? It was when you were reassembling the shredded note.
  • 5 of 6: Go to the lounge and take a piece of tape from the desk next to the bookcase, then come back to Niko's office and collect that print.
  • 6 of 6: You might be able to do this fast enough that you don't have to distract Victor again; however, keep your ears open for a text from Ryan warning you that he's coming.
