The final book in the Phoenix trilogy. The Hardy Boys bounce from Stockholm, to Copenhagen, to Germany, then finally on to New York. The book was a fun quick read, but I had to roll my eyes at how Frank was able to track Joe all across these countries. The two had split up in Germany, with Joe infiltrating the smuggling ring by pretending to be a foreign refugee looking to flee to America. Somehow Frank was able to keep up with him, despite the many obstacles (and henchmen) thrown his way.

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.
