The Ice-Cold Case
Book 148 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case centered on an ice-cold case. The brothers investigate winter conditions, frozen evidence, and a mystery that may have gone unsolved, trying to separate genuine evidence from distractions created by whoever wants the truth concealed. As the danger increases, they rely on teamwork, quick thinking, and their willingness to follow clues into unfamiliar situations. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure mixes cold-weather detection with the series’ fast-paced juvenile detection, giving its central gimmick a practical criminal mystery for Frank and Joe to unravel.
