The Hardy Brothers Detective Stories is a classic, original series of stories about brother detectives. It was published from 1927 to 1979. AST Publishing publishes this series under the title “Detective Brothers Hardy.”

Frank and Joe Hardy will have to investigate several cases at once. Their friend Chet's car was stolen, and the ticket office at the ferry station was robbed. Witnesses say a red-haired man was seen at the crime scene. While Hardy's detectives are investigating the circumstances under which the crimes were committed, another event occurs that shocked the entire city: a local landmark, an impregnable castle-mansion, has been robbed! Is the same red-haired stranger involved here, or is there a whole gang of criminals operating in the area?
