A North Dakota town digs into its Scandinavian roots. Did Vikings make it all the way to the center of the continent in Medieval times? The Sakakawea County Historical Society seeks to find out. Meanwhile an enigmatic and rather obnoxious stranger comes to town and vanishes without a trace, leaving behind a vintage car and an unused motel room. Is there a connection to the archaeological dig? Is it murder--or what? Small town merchant-turned-amateur-detective Will Nickerson looks for the answer--along with his fellow townsfolk of New Oslo, ND and a host of intriguing visitors, including a beautiful and alluring traveling saleswoman, Alison Parshall. Viking It Is is a complex mystery, packed with twists and turns, subplots, surprise and shock, plus a touch of romance and an occasional bit of humor in R. L. Anderson's third novel.
