Description:

Frank and Joe Hardy trade the snowy shores of Bayport for the rugged Montana wilderness when their detective father, Fenton Hardy, is injured while tracking a fortune in stolen gold. Following a tip from an old miner named Jadbury Wilson, the brothers head west to the rough-and-tumble town of Lucky Bottom — but the journey turns dangerous before they even arrive, with kidnappers, fake lawyers, and an ambush along the way. Forced to travel in disguise, the boys join their dad on the trail of the notorious outlaw Black Pepper and his gang, who are hiding the loot somewhere deep in abandoned mines. Cave-ins, howling timber wolves, blinding blizzards, and gun-toting bandits stand between them and the treasure. Fifth in the classic Hardy Boys series, this fast-paced adventure delivers Old West thrills with classic detective grit.
