Description
In The Shore Road Mystery, Frank and Joe Hardy take on a triple mystery when they help their friend Jack Dodd and his father search for a family treasure. The only clue is a cryptic message from a Pilgrim ancestor, but the case quickly escalates as the Dodds are accused of car theft and vanish without a trace.
Undeterred by suspicion and danger, the Hardy Boys, aided by their jovial friend Chet Morton, follow a trail of disappearing cars along Shore Road. Their investigation uncovers deadly traps, aerial ambushes, a menacing “spider man,” and a cane-wielding suspect. The boys’ daring plan to hide in a stolen car’s trunk leads them to a secret hideout where stolen vehicles are traded for weapons, culminating in a thrilling showdown in a hidden cave near Bayport.
This 1964 revised edition blends adventure, friendship, and classic detective work, making it a must-have for Hardy Boys fans and vintage book collectors.
