A bank robbery! Kidnapped pals! Stolen radios! A crazy shotgun-wielding hermit on an island! It's all go again for the Hardy Boys in this fourth adventure in the series. It appears things are never quiet in Bayport and no-one is in the least bit surprised when Chet Morton and Biff Hooper go missing. In their quest to find and rescue them, Frank and Joe investigate a shanty just outside of town, are threatened, shot at and finally captured themselves! Exciting stuff. ( )

A varation on books one - three. I had hope for something new and different, but alas no. This book almost made me give up on a quest on reading the remainder of the books. ( )
