About this book
Law enforcement is basically a means of deciding on a fitting course of action in times of need. Much of the work involved means doing it under pressure and that is not always an acquired trait. Teenagers Joe and Frank Hardy had ample mental ability to reach conclusions and act accordingly. Some of that ability was handed down by their former police detective Fenton Hardy, and the overall concept was enhanced by their perceptive cleverness. If you want to be tense with excitement, here's a chance. They discover a counterfeiting operation in an old mill, are trapped and face a struggle to escape. Eventually, they overcome the misdeeds and wind up with some of the phony money. Listen and hear how it all came to be.
