Frank and Joe Hardy, erstwhile teenage detectives, feel somewhat foolish after accepting a counterfeit bill while helping a stranger at the Bayport train station. Over a period of weeks, friends and family members fall prey to exchanges with counterfeiters, sometimes in transactions amounting to hundreds of dollars.

Frank and Joe's father, the highly esteemed private detective Fenton Hardy, is working with the Secret Service to track down the counterfeiting ring, but thus far they haven't had much luck. It's up to Joe and Frank, piecing together their suspicions, to locate the secret printing plant of the counterfeiters and bring them to justice.

A fun, fast-paced, well-narrated story!

This was a lot of fun! Two teenaged brothers sleuthing, figuring out whodunnit! They have their own motorcycles and motorboat—that in itself is fun to imagine! It’s written in a long-ago style and was meant for boys perhaps around 11-14, but these days it appeals to others, too. The narrator makes each character come alive and moves the story forward in an exciting manner.
