The Mystery of the Flying Express
Book 20 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy investigate danger connected with a train or express service whose unusual events suggest more than ordinary mechanical trouble. The case puts the brothers around rail yards, passengers, or moving trains while they follow clues to a criminal plan. Speed and limited escape routes make the transportation setting especially hazardous once the Hardys get close. Franklin W. Dixon’s series entry combines railway adventure and detection in a mystery where the 'flying express' can carry both innocent travelers and the evidence the brothers need.
