The Twisted Claw
Book 18 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
A symbol or object known as the Twisted Claw becomes connected with a criminal mystery that draws Frank and Joe Hardy into danger. The unusual emblem helps link incidents that might otherwise seem unrelated. The brothers pursue the people using it while trying to understand what the organization or clue represents. Franklin W. Dixon combines a memorable visual motif with secretive villains and fast juvenile adventure in a Hardy Boys case where recognizing the sign is only the first step toward exposing the people behind it.
