Without a Trace (Hardy Boys Casefiles #31)
by Franklin W. DixonFrom the back of the book: Badland bonanza Rancher Roy Carlson asks Frank and Joe to visit his spread in New Mexico after one of his cowboys disappears. While searching the area in an ultralight plane, the Hardys are forced to land. Suddenly the brother detectives are fighting to survive in a vast wilderness-and along with rattlesnakes and tornadoes a deadly enemy is on their trail. There's a million-dollar bonanza at stake as Frank and Joe uncover the real mystery of the Circle C Ranch. But unless the brothers make their way home, their lives won't be worth a plugged nickel. ================ From inside the book: FINAL DESCENT Frank banked the ultralight airplane, preparing to circle back to the homestead. Suddenly he felt a jerk on his right foot pedal, and the ultralight whipped into a spin. Frank frantically worked the rudder pedals. The right one was stuck in the stop position. Trying the left pedal, he managed to move it slightly-but then it stuck, too. Fighting panic, Frank glanced behind him at the tail. The rudder was definitely jammed, which meant that a cable must have broken and the control line had fouled. The ultralight kept whirling in a tight circle-and the ground was moving up closer and closer. If Frank didn't get control back, the ultralight would crash!
