Attack of the Video Villains
Book 106 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy take on a case centered on criminal activity involving video games or video technology. The brothers must sort through screens, electronic entertainment, and offenders using technology as cover, looking for the practical connection among clues that initially seem designed to confuse or frighten them. As the investigation grows more dangerous, teamwork and quick decisions become as important as identifying the person behind the scheme. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure combines tech mystery with the series’ brisk juvenile-detective formula, using its distinctive premise to give Frank and Joe another fast-moving puzzle.
