The Clue in the Embers
Book 35 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case centered on evidence hidden among embers. The investigation forces them to make sense of fire-damaged clues and people hoping evidence has been destroyed, while suspicious people work to keep the real explanation hidden. The brothers combine observation, teamwork, and a willingness to enter dangerous situations as the clues develop into a larger scheme. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure blends forensic-style sleuthing with the series’ familiar fast-moving juvenile detection, keeping the emphasis on uncovering the human motives behind an attention-grabbing mystery.
