| 33. THE YELLOW FEATHER MYSTERY |
| FOREWORD |
| The famous young detectives Frank and Joe Hardy are caught up in a dangerous web of intrigue when they agree to help Greg Woodson search for his grandfather's missing will. Greg feels sure that he is the rightful heir to his grandfather's property, including Woodson Acad- emy, but no trace of a will can be found. Greg's grandfather had promised to tell him about "Yellow Feather" shortly before he died. Who or what can Yellow Feather be? And where does Henry Kurt, the temporary headmaster of Woodson Academy, fit in? He insists that he is to inherit the school. Moreover, Kurt claims to have been threatened by Yellow Feather! Frank and Joe risk their lives several times before they solve the mystery of Yellow Feather and trap a sinister criminal who will stop at nothing - even mur- der - to satisfy his greed for money. |
| An invitation from Cap Bailey, science teacher at Bayport High, to accompany him out West to Wild- cat Swamp on an archaeological expedition triggers off a series of dangerous events for Frank and Joe Hardy. Just before they leave, a ruthless criminal breaks out of prison. Their famous detective father, who is tracking down a gang of freight-train robbers, sus- pects the escapee is part of the gang. Investigation leads him to believe that the robbers might be hiding out in Wildcat Swamp! On their way West the boys and Cap have a near- fatal accident in a private plane which has been sabo- taged. When they start digging for fossils, a giant boulder comes hurtling straight toward them as if guided by an invisible hand. Though warned to leave the area, Frank, Joe, and Cap doggedly remain until they have caught the cunning ex-convicts they are up against in this swift-paced adventure. |
| When a man selling leather goods door-to-door steals the key to their detective father's file cabinet, Frank and Joe Hardy set out to track him down. An odd mark on a key case which the man sold to their mother leads the teen-age sleuths to an Indian village, whose chief begs them to help him. Two strangers have claimed title to the Indians' land, the deed to which had been secretly buried by the chief's father, along with other valuable tribal possessions, shortly before he died. The only clue to the location is that a crisscross shadow marks the site when the Octo- ber full moon is low in the sky. How Frank and Joe find the missing deed and the other Ramapan treasures, how they prevent the phony leather-goods salesman from carrying out a ruthless scheme, and how they help their father solve the top- secret case he is working on for the U.S. government makes exciting reading for all fans of the Hardy boys. |
| A trained peregrine falcon that the young detectives receive as a gift involves them in an exciting mystery. Imagine their astonishment when the swift-flying falcon brings down a homing pigeon carrying two precious rubies! Startling events that ensue indicate the gems are part of a ransom that has been paid for the release of a kidnapped student from India, who had come to the United States to complete his education. But Tava Nayyar, the son of a wealthy industrialist, is still being held captive. Hoping to find a clue to Tava's whereabouts, the Hardys try to track down the owner of the ruby-bearing pigeon. Their every move, however, is thwarted by the dangerous criminals not only involved in the kidnapping, but also in the large-scale smuggling of aliens from India into the United States. How Frank and Joe eventually outwit their adversaries climaxes this thrill-packed mys- tery adventure. |
