Description
In The Apeman's Secret, Frank and Joe Hardy investigate two puzzling cases in Bayport: the disappearance of an eighteen-year-old girl believed to have joined a dangerous religious cult, and a mysterious "Apeman" who is causing chaos around town and is somehow connected to a comic book publisher. The brothers discover that both mysteries are linked to an elaborate scheme orchestrated by a clever criminal gang. This is the 62nd book in the Hardy Boys mystery series.
