For Nancy and Ned, a week alone together in Washington State is a dream come true. But at the last moment, their vacation plans take a chilling turn. The owners of the Alpine Adventures guide service have been victimized by a campaign of terror, and to get to the bottom of the nasty business, Nancy must go to the top of Mount Rainier.
Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.
