Book 1, Ch. 3

The Tower Treasure
Chapter 3: The Threat




As soon as the teen detectives arrive home, they fill their father in on the ferry-boat hold-up and Chet’s stolen car. Fenton Hardy, a world-class detective himself, suggests that the boys inquire at wig shops around town to find out where the thief got his red wig. At Schwartz’s costume shop, Frank models a skeleton but finds no clues about the wig. The next day, as Chet entertains Frank and Joe for lunch, he receives a threatening telephone call telling him to give up the hunt for his car. At that moment, the boys see a furtive figure sneaking away from Chet’s barn!
