The adventure goes West! In this fifth thrilling installment of the Hardy Boys series, teenage detectives Frank and Joe Hardy journey to the rugged mountains of Montana on their most dangerous case yet. When their father, famed detective Fenton Hardy, is injured while investigating a gang of criminals, he calls upon his sons to join him and continue the search for a legendary cache of gold that disappeared twenty-five years ago. After a near-miss with careless hunters in the woods near Bayport, the boys meet Mike Onslow, a mysterious trapper with vital information about the long-lost treasure. Upon arriving in the small mining town of Lucky Lode, Montana, the Hardy boys face escalating threats—from warning boulders crashing into their cabin to booby-trapped helicopters—as the notorious outlaw “Big Al” and his gang try to prevent them from finding the hidden gold. The brothers’ investigation takes them through treacherous mountain terrain, abandoned mines, and secret caves as they piece together clues about the missing treasure and its connection to a man with a forgotten identity. Using their detective skills, courage, and outdoor survival knowledge, Frank and Joe must navigate dangerous situations to recover the hidden gold and bring the criminals to justice. This modernized 174-page revised edition from 1963 showcases the brothers’ resourcefulness and determination in one of their most thrilling adventures yet.
