Fear on Wheels

...A young duo of gumshoes, Frank and Joe Hardy are called upon by Grant Tucker, a hot rod show's promoter, to crack a case of extortion and on-purpose accidents caused by a mysterious man in black. There is just one problem with this case, there are to many suspects who all have motives for causing the accidents and for needing the extortion money, a cool quarter million. Frank and Joe have to crack the case because the accidents are getting more and more dangerous.The characters in the story are like all Hardy Boys characters. They are all fairly weird but fairly believable, which gives the stories a human property. All the hot rodders are full of them selves, the truckers act like truckers, and all of them baby their vehicles like they would their own children. The chief mechanic was a hot rodder until he crashed and hurt his leg, and now he's a bitter man. Another thing about the Hardy Boys books is the language that everyone can understand. There aren't a lot of big words. This book was just perfect in how long it was. It had enough details to give the reader a clear picture of what was going on, without doing so much that they described every little thing.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries. It was a very elusive book, in that I didn't have a clue who the extortionist or the person causing the accidents were. That made the book very easy to read, because I was waiting for the Hardys to crack the case, which never happened until the very end.
