Synopsis

Law enforcement is basically a means of deciding on a fitting course of action in times of need. Much of the work involved means doing it under pressure and that is not always an acquired trait. Teenagers Joe and Frank Hardy had ample mental ability to reach conclusions and act accordingly. Some of that ability was handed down by their former police detective Fenton Hardy, and the overall concept was enhanced by their perceptive cleverness. If you want to be tense with excitement, here’s a chance. They discover a counterfeiting operation in an old mill, are trapped and face a struggle to escape. Eventually, they overcome the misdeeds and wind up with some of the phony money. Listen and hear how it all came to be.

4 Stars. This one moved. Fast action and well written. The pace is relentless. Yes, it's for young adults, mostly teenage boys I'm sure, and yes, it came out in 1927 with significant revisions in 1955, but I enjoyed the adventure. Fenton Hardy, the father of 18 year-old Frank and 17 year-old Joe is......more

The Hardy Boys may have been the first reading experience where a fellow school friend turned me on to it. So, this was last year. Kidding! But really, I remember going to my friend's house who was a couple of doors away from me, and he had the whole collection of Hardy Boys. Most of it were old, and......more
