Track of the Zombie
Book 71 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series
Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case centered on a trail associated with a zombie. The investigation forces them to make sense of frightening folklore and suspicious activity hidden behind it, while suspicious people work to keep the real explanation hidden. The brothers combine observation, teamwork, and a willingness to enter dangerous situations as the clues develop into a larger scheme. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure blends supernatural-seeming adventure with the series’ familiar fast-moving juvenile detection, keeping the emphasis on uncovering the human motives behind an attention-grabbing mystery.
