Trial and Terror

by Franklin W. Dixon

Book 147 of the The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories series

Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case centered on a trial that develops into terror. The brothers investigate legal proceedings, testimony, and threats surrounding what may be revealed, trying to separate genuine evidence from distractions created by whoever wants the truth concealed. As the danger increases, they rely on teamwork, quick thinking, and their willingness to follow clues into unfamiliar situations. Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boys adventure mixes courtroom suspense with the series’ fast-paced juvenile detection, giving its central gimmick a practical criminal mystery for Frank and Joe to unravel.
