Farming Fear
Book 188 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Trouble on or around a farm draws Frank and Joe Hardy into a mystery where ordinary rural work is overshadowed by intimidation. Equipment, animals, crops, and isolated property provide both clues and opportunities for sabotage. The brothers investigate whether frightening incidents are accidents or part of a deliberate effort to force someone’s hand. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys story combines agricultural surroundings with family-friendly suspense and a case in which fear is being cultivated as carefully as anything in the fields.
