The Secret Panel
Book 25 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy discover evidence of a secret panel whose hidden space is connected to a larger mystery. What looks like an ordinary wall or piece of a building becomes important once the brothers realize someone has been using concealed access. The search behind the panel leads toward property, information, or people meant to remain undiscovered. Franklin W. Dixon closes this catalog range with a classic Hardy Boys setup in which architecture itself hides the clue, rewarding the brothers for refusing to assume that a solid-looking surface tells the whole story.
