Tower Treasure (Version 4)

When a dying man stumbles into the Hardy family garage with his final words about treasure hidden in an abandoned tower, sixteen-year-old Frank and fourteen-year-old Joe Hardy find themselves pulled into their first real mystery. The brothers have solved small-town puzzles before, but this is different: a legendary criminal's lost fortune, a generations-old secret, and enemies who will stop at nothing to beat them to the prize. From creeping through decrepit staircases to outsmarting grown men with criminal ties, Frank and Joe prove that the youngest Hardy boys are more than ready for danger. First published in 1927, this is where it all began: the novel that launched one of American publishing's most enduring mystery series. For readers who grew up with Nancy Drew, who devoured adventure tales by flashlight under the covers, or who are discovering the Hardy Boys for the first time, Tower Treasure delivers exactly what it promises: two brothers, one impossible puzzle, and a tower holding secrets worth killing for.
