Skarb z wieży in short
The Tower Treasure follows two brothers from a bored Saturday errand to their first real case. A reckless driver, a stolen car and a hold-up lead to a red wig, the wig leads to a criminal named Jackley, and a theft at Tower Mansion puts an honest caretaker under suspicion. Each step comes from a small clue.
What Skarb z wieży is about
Two teenage brothers ride out on a spring Saturday to deliver legal papers, wishing for a real mystery. Within hours, a red-haired driver nearly sends them over a cliff, a friend's yellow roadster vanishes, and a ticket seller is held up at gunpoint. Do these crimes belong together?
The Tower Treasure is the first Hardy Boys mystery, written under the name Franklin W. Dixon, a pen name used for the whole series. It follows Frank and Joe Hardy, sons of the famous detective Fenton Hardy, in the town of Bayport. You get a fast, funny puzzle and a lesson in how a detective thinks: notice everything, and doubt your first guess.

Two brothers wish for a real mystery
The book opens on a spring Saturday with a wish. Frank Hardy, sixteen, and his brother Joe, a year younger, ride motorcycles along the shore road near Bayport. They carry legal papers for their father, Fenton Hardy, a detective known across the country. The errand bores them, and they want something bigger.
Then the road gives them what they asked for, and not gently. A car roars up behind them with its muffler cut out, swinging toward the edge of the embankment. Below lies a drop of a hundred feet to the rocks. The driver has a shock of red hair blowing in the wind. At the last second the car shoots past by inches, and the man shakes his fist at them.
Later, near the farm of their friend Chet Morton, the boys see a wrecked touring car upside down in the bushes. Chet waits at his gate looking worried. His yellow roadster has been taken from the garage, though the car itself was locked. Joe realizes the wreck is the car that nearly ran them down.
A real mystery begins when you notice small facts and ask how they fit together.
