I live in Canada so I?m always interested in Hardy Boys books that are sat in Canada.
Is there any Casefiles or Supermysteries sat in Canada?
At least one that comes to me off the top of my head..

Others are:
The Viking Symbol Mystery (#42 Original Series)
The Short-Wave Mystery (#24 Original)
New Year's Evil (Supermystery '88)
I?ve read The Viking Symbol Mystery and The Short-Wave Mystery, but not New Year's Evil, all have to look around for it.
Thanks for the info. :)
Dos anybody else know of other Hardy Boys sat in Canada??
Speed Times Five its a Digest
I think Speed Times Five is set near the Canadian border, but doesn't take place in Canada, or if it does, its for a page or two, then it is back to the U.S.
I'm not sure about this becouse I have never read the The Twisted Claw, but I was on a wabsite called: 'The Hardy Boys Unofficial Online Resource' and they said that in the Revised, 1969 version of The Twisted Claw the Hardys went to Montreal, Stormwell and Port Manthon, Canada; Tambio and Cambrian Islands in the Caribbean; and Miami.
Here's a Link to the site.

Thanks!
In the original text, the Hardy's also went to Saint John, New Brunswick, although the text erronously calls the city St. John's, New Brunswick. But I have to agree with the maker of that web page. A lot of visitors, and even residents of Canada, tend to make that same mistake because the two cities have near identical names when you say them (the only difference is the "s" sound on the end of St. John's).

There was a casefile in Canada. I think it was 43. Not sure.
#43 Strategic Moves was set in England with Stonehenge. #28 Countdown to Terror takes place in Canada in Halifax.

I think someone had better pull out their copy of the book to see. Unfortunately I can't get to my copy right now since it is in a box ready for our move at the end of the month.
Well, Speed Times Five involves racing right? You should be able to figure out where it takes place in Qu?bec by looking-up the race tracks there.

Not really, since the author could've invented names for the race tracks.
But he might have based it on a real track. It's a long-shot, I know, but worth a try.
Okay, I have this book out right in front of me so I will try to answer this question. In "Speed Times Five", the back of the book says that The Hardy Boys (along with Chet Morton and Jamal Watkins- this is a typo on the back of the book- he's clearly identified as Jamal Hawkins in the book itself- the same friend of the Hardys that shows up in a few other books toward the end of this series)- anyway, they go for the Fire Creek Mountain Race in Canada- which includes events like downhill mountain biking, kayaking, cross-country hiking and climbing, biking through the city streets of Montreal, and a high-speed SeaZoom race on Lake Champlain.
(Which sounds pretty cool actually- like the Iron Man events.) The first chapter of the book starts with The Hardys and Chet and Jamal crossing the USA/Canada border. It mentions they get on Highway 133 heading for Montreal. And they eventually go into the Laurentian Mountains.
So there's the extent of the Hardys' trip to Canada in this book.
