Bookroo's summary

Frank and Joe Hardy find themselves in the Great Smoky Mountains, assisting on a film about a legendary thief who vanished with a fortune. But when strange accidents and eerie sightings disrupt the set, the brothers must unravel the mystery. Is it the ghost of the thief, a lurking Bigfoot, or something else entirely? With a young star's life at risk and a wild mountain lion on the loose, the stakes are high. Can the Hardys solve the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

While Frank and Joe are working with the animal wranglers for a movie about a man who escaped with a stolen treasure into the Great Smoky Mountains, mysterious events repeatedly strike the set, prompting the boys to investigate.
