Detective stories about the Hardy brothers first appeared in the USA and became a real literary event of the 20th century: an exciting plot where investigations and mysteries intertwine, crimes are uncovered, and danger and risk seize the reader’s attention from the very first pages and keep them on edge until the end of the book. Stories about the young detectives of the Hardy brothers were written by the same authors who created the famous sleuth Nancy Drew. Based on the Hardy brothers books, TV series were made and computer games were released. Today, these detective stories have fans all over the world.
In the audiobook “The Hardy Brothers and the Hunt for Hidden Gold,” young detectives Frank and Joe Hardy must solve a case from twenty-five years ago: a gold prospector who ran from a gang of criminals disappeared without a trace along with the found gold. Now not only the missing man’s associates are searching for him, but also those same criminals—who have no intention of giving up on finding the trail of the gold. But it seems the Hardy brothers cope with the task much better, because clues keep landing in their hands that help, bit by bit, to restore the picture of what happened. It seemed that just a little more—and the twenty-five-year-old case would be solved, but suddenly something surfaced that dramatically changes the direction of the entire investigation.
