The Mystery of the Black Rhino
Book 178 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a mystery surrounding a black rhinoceros, where rare wildlife and human greed create a dangerous combination. The case draws them toward people whose interest in the animal may have more to do with money than conservation. Tracking the truth requires the brothers to understand both the wildlife setting and the criminal opportunity it creates. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure blends animal-centered danger with juvenile detection and a conservation-minded premise.
