| Summary |
"The Shore Road Mystery" by Franklin W. Dixon is a fictional mystery novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure follows the Hardy boys, Frank and Joe, as they delve into a series of car thefts in their hometown of Bayport, where several expensive automobiles have recently gone missing. The brothers, along with their friend Chet Morton, find themselves entangled in the pursuit of the thieves while trying to clear the names of their friends who have been wrongfully accused of these crimes. At the start of the novel, the Hardy boys are on their motorcycles when they discuss the string of recent car thefts along the Shore Road. Their conversation is interrupted by Isaac Fussy, a local fisherman who frantically alerts them that his brand-new Cadillac has just been stolen. This incident ignites the boys' determination to investigate and catch the culprits. Despite their attempts to chase after the thieves, the boys find themselves in a series of mishaps, culminating in a motorcycle accident. As they continue their investigation, they encounter various characters, including an eccentric farmer and some suspicious tramps, while uncovering clues that may lead them to solve the mystery of the elusive car thieves.
