Great book to read around the Fourth of July, as that holiday is at the center of the storyline. Quite enjoy the angle of hidden treasure and the hunt for a demiculverin (hand cannon) that will help the Hardy Boys find said treasure.
The book starts when Joe and Frank are scuba diving and a man shoots a spear gun at them and it hits Joe’s air tank and the person who did it swam away. One time when they were walking on the side walk and the same man nearly ran over them if you want to know what other things happen to them you have to read Hardy Boys Secret of Pirates Hill.

Franklin W. Dixon Franklin W. Dixon is actually a pseudonym for any number of ghostwriters who have had the distinction of writing stories for the Hardy Boys series. The series was originally created by Edward Stratmeyer in 1926, the same mastermind of the Nancy Drew detective series, Tom Swift, the Rover Boys and other characters. While show more Stratmeyer created the outlines for the original series, it was Canadian writer Leslie McFarlane who breathed life to the stories and created the persona Franklin W. Dixon. McFarlane wrote for the series for over twenty years and is credited with success of the early collection of stories. As the series became more popular, it was pared down, the format changed and new ghostwriters added their own flavor to the stories. Part of the draw of the Hardy Boys is that as the authors changed, so to did the times and the story lines. While there is no one true author of the series, each ghostwriter can be given credit for enhancing the life of this series and never unveiling that there really is no Franklin W. Dixon.
