A Figure in Hiding
Book 16 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy search for a person who is deliberately remaining out of sight while trying to understand the crime or secret connected with that disappearance. A hidden figure can observe, move, and manipulate events without easily becoming a suspect. The brothers follow sightings and physical clues while the danger increases as they get closer to identifying who is hiding. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys mystery uses concealment and uncertain identity to create suspense around an opponent whose greatest advantage is not being seen clearly.
