The Mystery of Cabin Island (1929)
Hardy Boys Series, Book 8
Publisher: Phoenix Books, Inc.
Release date: February 11, 2010
Duration: 03:40:49

The Hardy Boys are elated over their good luck when wealthy Elroy Jefferson invites them to spend Christmas vacation at his private retreat on Cabin Island. But when Frank and Joe make a reconnaissance trip in their iceboat, The Sea Gull to the island, a belligerent stranger orders them off.

Why?

Before twenty-four hours have passed, the Hardys find themselves involved in two mysteries: the first concerns the recent disappearance of Mr. Jefferson’s grandson, Johnny; the second, the baffling theft of a priceless collection of antique medals which took place two years ago.

The young detectives, with their pals Chet Morton and Biff Hooper, pursue both cases on the icebound, snow covered island. Sabotage to The Sea Gull, danger to themselves and a ghostly prowler do not daunt Frank and Joe in their search for Johnny Jefferson and for clues to the stolen antique medals.

How the teen-age investigators outwit a ruthless foe and succeed in solving both mysteries makes for mounting suspense in this brisk-paced adventure.

The original was published in 1929. I don’t know if this is an updated version to make it “relevant” to today’s boys.

The puzzling trail of clues leads the young sleuths to an uninhabited Caribbean island, near the scene of the plane crash – then to a mountaintop in Montana and a danger-filled showdown with the band of thieves.

Frank and Joe Hardy receive an unusual assignment from their detective father. They are to “break into” the house of a Bayport neighbor, Malcolm Wright and retrieve a top-secret invention that the scientist had hidden in his study before leaving for California.

The invention is in danger of being stolen and the boys race against time to beat the thieves at their own game. The young detectives soon discover that they are involved in a mystery far greater in scope than just retrieving the invention. Their investigations put them on the trail of a dangerous gang of jewel thieves and smugglers.

When Joe is kidnapped, this incident starts Frank off on a chase that almost ends disastrously for him and his pals. The exciting capture of several members of the gang during a stormy night on Barmet bay and a perilous encounter with the insidious Anchor Pete concludes one of the most complicated cases of the Hardy’s career.

Encyclopedia Brown is not quite complete. It is a private torrent I will replace when I get the missing books.
