The Demon's Den
Book 81 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy take on a case centered on a place ominously called the Demon's Den. The brothers must sort through an eerie hideout and rumors designed to keep curious people away, 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 haunted-location suspense with the series’ brisk juvenile-detective formula, using its distinctive premise to give Frank and Joe another fast-moving puzzle.
