A prized collectible! In this sixth thrilling installment of the original Hardy Boys series, teenage sleuths Frank and Joe Hardy face one of their most baffling cases when cars begin mysteriously disappearing along Shore Road. Written by Leslie McFarlane under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, this authentic 1928 first edition features the rich narrative style and advanced vocabulary that characterized the original Hardy Boys mysteries. The adventure begins when the Hardy boys and their friend Chet Morton encounter a local fisherman whose car has just been stolen. After a delay caused by an accident with a horse-drawn hay wagon, they discover their friend Jack Dodd and his father being questioned by police. A stolen car has been found in the Dodds’ yard with Jack’s fishing rod in the back seat, making them the prime suspects. Determined to clear their friends’ names, Frank and Joe embark on a dangerous investigation. The young detectives identify several suspects including a band of tramps camping on the beach, a man named Gus Montrose who used to work for Mr. Dodd, and suspicious fishermen sneaking around at night. What puzzles everyone is how the stolen cars seem to vanish without a trace, never spotted leaving either end of Shore Road. In a daring plan, the Hardy boys purchase a roadster as bait, hiding themselves in the trunk to catch the thieves in action. Their clever trap leads them directly to the criminals’ secret hideout, resulting in a thrilling confrontation that showcases the brothers’ courage and detective skills. At approximately 212 pages, this longer, more complex version includes plot elements and characterizations later simplified in the 1964 revised edition, offering collectors and enthusiasts a glimpse into the authentic Hardy Boys experience that captivated young readers nearly a century ago.
