A million dollars' worth of gold bullion has been stolen from the Wakefield Mint under strange circumstances. Mr. hardy is asked to investigate but before long his life is threatened, and he asks Frank and Joe to help him. The boys fly to Zurich, Switzerland, hoping to get information at the Swiss Gold Syndicate and to find the man who has stolen a valuable ancient gold figurine from a New York museum. Their search on both counts seems futile as they return to the United States where they uncover clues that lead them to an adventure in the Yucatan jungle. But the Hardy's travels lead to nothing but new doubts and nagging suspicions. And now their lives are in danger.
This book I thought was pretty good. Sometimes it may have you reading page after page after page wanting to know whats going to happen next. Sometimes the book can get just a little boring though. Thats why I rated it 4 stars. If you are into mystery type genre books, try this book out and see if you like it. this is the third book in the series that I have read, and I'm planning on reading my fourth. I really liked this book, and I hope you will too.
One of my favourites

This has always been one of my favourite Hardy Boys books. It was first published when I was 12 and when I was busy reading all of the books in the series. I always liked it when the brothers travelled the globe solving mysteries. In this one they travel to Zurich Switzerland and then to the Yucatan and discover a deserted pyramid hidden in the jungle. I think it is a pretty exciting mystery. I would recommend it any Hardy Boys fan
MY VERY FIRST BOOK!!!...

The most adventurist mystery of all The Hardy Boy's books series! Frank and Joe are on another scrambling mystery with a dangerous gang. Chet,Biff,Tony,and Mr. Hardy are in with them. I loved the part when Frank and Joe were skiing with Rony,Alice,Jane,and Karen. Also the part when Frank and Joe were trailing the hynoptize man. And when Joe fell into a swamp full of alligators and nearly got eaten. Please people save your money to buy a Hardy Boy's books series!

In this enthrawling adventure the Hardy Boys take on a group of hard nosed gold thieves. They go all over central and south america looking for clues. They also get involved in a silver stealing mystery. This mystery is just another one of the brillant Hardy Boy mysteries we have grown to love.
