Book #42 in the The Hardy Boys series
A stolen Viking rune stone leads to a treasure hunt in the Canadian wilderness.
Frank and Joe Hardy, along with Chet Morton, embark on a daring adventure in the Canadian Northwest. A French-Canadian trapper discovers a Viking rune stone near Great Slave Lake, only for it to be stolen by thieves. The brothers must race against time to retrieve the artifact before the criminals unlock its secrets and find the hidden treasure. Will they succeed in their perilous quest, or will the ancient mystery remain unsolved?
The Canadian Northwest beckons Frank and Joe Hardy to mystery and adventure. It all starts when a French-Canadian trapper, Caribou Caron, makes a historical and valuable find–a carved rune stone left by Vikings centuries ago near Great Slave Lake. When Caribou Caron attempts to sell the artifact to a representative of a museum, it is snatched by thieves. Like the intrepid Vikings of old, Frank and Joe, with their close pal Chet Morton, set off on a perilous quest in the Northwest Territories to recover the valuable artifact before the robbers can decipher the symbols leading to the buried treasure.
