The Hardy brothers must dismantle a dangerous crime gang in this first
book of a fresh approach to a classic series.
Teenagers Frank and Joe Hardy are supposedly "retired" from their
detective work. But there is a new mystery in Bayport that needs their
investigative expertise--and fast!
Starting with a bank heist, a series of alarming pranks have popped up
around Bayport. Ultimately harmless, the pranks turn out to be the work
of Seth Diller, an amateur filmmaker who plans to make "zillions" from
his reality-horror flick, which he'll use to help out his brother, a
wounded Marine.
But after the Hardy brothers put a stop to the Panic Project, there is a
new outbreak of Seth-like pranks--only these have definite victims. All
signs point to evidence of a crime gang in Bayport, and Frank and Joe
undertake the most dangerous investigation they've ever encountered.
It's up to them to save their town--and themselves--before the Red Arrow
gets to them first.
