    I cracked the spine on a book that hadn't been opened in two decades.www.onedoor.cc "Wonder what mystery Dad's working on now." Joe Hardy asked. His brother Frank looked eagerly down the platform of the Bayport railroad station. "It must be a very important case, the way Dad dashed off to Detroit. We'll know in a few minutes." Joe looked at his watch impatiently. "Train's late." Both boys were wondering, too, about a certain surprise their father had hinted might be ready for them upon his return. Waiting with Frank and Joe for Mr. Hardy's arrival was their best friend Chet Morton. "Your dad's cases are ...TLAone door
