WELCOME TO NEW OSLO, NORTH DAKOTA. A small city on the prairies that takes pride in its Norwegian heritage. As you come into town, you'll be welcomed by the huge, whimsical statue of Oslo Olof the Viking standing proudly at the corner of Main Street and Dakota Avenue. Stop in for lunch at the Taste of Norway Family Restaurant or browse for authentic Norwegian gifts at Norske Knickknacks (nothing made in China here!). Or take in Haakonson Horsepower Museum to see every kind of horse-drawn vehicle ever made. (Well--almost!) The local Historical Society is digging for relics that might prove that Vikings made it all the way to the center of the continent in Medieval times. And now a stranger has come to town and vanished without a trace, leaving behind a vintage car and an unused motel room. Is there a connection to the archaeological dig? Has this enigmatic and obnoxious visitor been murdered? Or what? It's up to North Dakota's amateur detective Will Nickerson to find the answer, along with a host of townsfolk and intriguing visitors to the community, including a beautiful traveling saleswoman from Montana, an Australian couple, a pesky cousin from Pennsylvania and a Canada-bound family from Iowa.
