Thick as Thieves

During a daring robbery of rare gems, Frank and Joe spot the thief. Their old enemy Charity has turned up in Bayport - and once again she manages to slip through their fingers. The Hardys track her to San Diego, where they run smack into a crook's covention. A group of master criminals are planning the crime of the century - and they think Joe is one of the dishonored guests. Joe joins the gang, but then he dissapears in a bomb blast. Frank is left to avenge his brother's death against all odds - as he tackles a criminal tag team with a secret weapon... and a lethal lady named Charity.

Charity is back...and Poor Joe is left to handle her almost all by himself!! This is one book where the brothers are hardly together ....and Definitely one of the most suspensefull. This plot is just one disaster after another..can't say more without giving away the plot!

Charity is one of the only crooks that's ever escaped the Hardys. Now they've spotted her in Bayport, and they're determined to stop her from escaping again. I believe this is one of the better Hardy Boys Casefiles books.
