Footprints Under the Window
Book 12 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Footprints beneath a window give Frank and Joe Hardy physical evidence that someone has entered, escaped, or observed a place secretly. The brothers follow the trail into a larger mystery involving people who have strong reasons to conceal their movements. As clues accumulate, a seemingly simple set of prints becomes connected to organized wrongdoing. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure demonstrates the series’ classic clue-driven appeal by building a case outward from evidence any observant young detective might notice.
