The Secret of the Red Arrow

Brothers Frank and Joe Hardy investigate strange occurrences in their hometown of Bayport and find a clue that might link squabbles at school, a terrifying run-in with a professional skateboarder, and a paranormal internet challenge. 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 a new mystery in Bayport needs their investigative expertise. Starting with a bank heist, a series of alarming pranks pop up around Bayport. The pranks, ultimately harmless, are traced back to Seth Diller, an amateur filmmaker planning to make 'zillions' from his reality-horror flick to help his wounded Marine brother. After stopping Seth's Panic Project, a new outbreak of pranks with definite victims emerges, pointing to a crime gang in Bayport. Frank and Joe undertake their most dangerous investigation ever, striving to save their town—and themselves—before the Red Arrow gets to them first.
