Under the Badger Moon by Nancy S. Lind delivers heart-pounding treasure hunts across Wisconsin's wild landscapes in this thrilling 1920s adventure series.
Perfect for fans of historical mysteries and Midwestern lore, it blends cryptic clues, ruthless villains, and unforgettable heroes.
In Part I: The Copper Ledger, sharp-witted Milwaukee reporter Clara Vogel teams up with rugged Northwoods guide Elias Eli Sorenson to chase Jacques LeGarde's lost fur trader fortune-a hammered copper ledger hiding untapped silver and copper veins. They race Chicago bootleggers like slick Victor Vance through iconic spots: Milwaukee's City Hall shadows, Devils Lake's Balanced Rock, Wisconsin Dells' Witches Gulch, Door County's Cana Island Lighthouse, and Lake Superior's icy sea caves.
Part II: The Driftless Derailment ups the stakes with a hunt for Confederate gold in a hidden train car amid unglaciated bluffs, battling railroad tycoon Archie Vance to save Eli's animal shelter.
Clara Vogel: Fiercely independent investigative journalist, decoding puzzles with city smarts.
Eli Sorenson: Timber-cruiser from Stevens Point, wilderness expert with a sweet tooth for brandy old fashioneds.
Snoopy: Eli's scruffy Shih Tzu sidekick, the palace dog who steals every scene.
Villains like Victor and Archie Vance bring Prohibition-era menace, from speakeasy schemes to eminent domain grabs.
Explore real landmarks like Holy Hill's silent stones, Baileys Harborlight, Grandad Bluff, Villa Louis ghosts, Kickapoo Valley switchbacks, and Mineral Point's Cornish mines-each a vivid backdrop for chases, climbs, and cave-ins. Nancy S. Lind, from Stevens Point, weaves authentic Badger State history with pulse-racing action.
Why Readers Love ItThis SEO-optimized gem (under 4000 characters) captivates with treasure hunt tropes, strong female leads, and feel-good epilogues-like Eli's Humane Society triumph. Ideal for fans of The Da Vinci Code meets Where the Crawdads Sing, or anyone craving 1920s Wisconsin escapism. Grab Under the Badger Moon now for non-stop thrills!
