Books like Buried in Time by Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson
Nancy Drew heads west to help archaeologist Tod Langford uncover clues amid a series of thefts and violent threats that threaten his work. A young Native American woman, Red Sky Winsea, insists that classic burial sites have been disturbed, and that the ground has become dangerously alive. As the Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, check out a nearby air force base, they discover a hijacked shipment that could be used to build an atom bomb. Their investigation inevitably brings them to the same troubling burial site, where a perilous mixture of archaeology, crime, and danger converges.
The story weaves together classic mystery with the adventure of youth, while testing the characters’ resolve as they confront both the ghosts of the past and a looming modern threat.
