A trip to Paris promises excitement when Frank and Joe Hardy volunteer to help with a major soccer tournament at the stadium that once hosted the World Cup. But their European adventure takes a dangerous turn when a series of suspicious accidents threatens the event. Collapsing bleachers, tampered fireworks, and sabotaged stadium lights suggest that someone is determined to cause chaos, and the attacks soon threaten more than just the soccer matches. Armed with clever detective skills and high-tech gadgets, including night-vision equipment and voice changers, the brothers race to uncover the identity of the saboteur before the situation turns deadly. As the danger spreads beyond the stadium, Frank and Joe must follow the clues, outwit a ruthless opponent, and prevent disaster in the City of Light. Fast-paced and packed with action, this Hardy Boys mystery is perfect for readers who enjoy international adventures, dangerous conspiracies, sports-related mysteries, and clever young detectives.
