A mystery is solved!

The story takes place in the city of Paris, France. The main characters in the story are Denise, brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, and bad guys, Paul Reynard and his nephews Y'ves, Maurice, and Pierre. The book tells the story of Frank and Joe who go to Paris on a vacation. During their trip they get caught by an organized crime ring called Reynard and Company, who put Frank and Joe in a machine that will crush them. A woman named Denise, who worked for Reynard and Company, felt sorry for Frank and Joe and she was able to stop the machine and save them from death. Then all three of them ran to a beach and they split up so it would be easier to escape. The bad men Pierre, Maurice and Y'ves chased after Frank, Denise and Joe with guns, but they ended up dying! Paul Reynard jumped out of a helicopter and knocked the pistols away from Frank and Joe. He made them go to the top of a sand dune where he was going to shoot them, but they were able to shoot him first killing him and shutting down his crime ring. Frank and Joe returned home and were excited to begin their next mission!

a more mature Hardy Boys novel

Frank and Joe Hardy are back in "Evil, Inc", the second book in the Casefiles series. After meeting a government agent called The Gray Man during "Dead on Target", Frank and Joe are introduced to a secret agency called The Network. When the brothers spot The Gray Man in Manhatten, they learn about an investigation he is working on regarding a terrorist organization in France. While the Gray Man does not want the brother involved because they are too young and the case is too dangerous, the Hardys secretly work to get themselves in the center of the investigation and soon they find themselves undercover in France as a couple of gun dealers who are into the punk rock scene, complete with died hair and grungy clothes. "Evil, Inc" takes the brothers inside a corporation which sponsors terrorism and they run up against the French Police. The Casefiles series is a more grown up Hardy Boys novel and is aimed a teenager rather than the pre-teen that the main series is targeted to. With that in mind, "Evil, Inc" is not a bad Hardy Boys book. It is fast paced, filled with action and danger, and should be interesting enough for a younger reader. It shows the evolution of the Hardys (at least in the Casefiles series) after the murder of Iola Morton ("Dead on Target") and how the brother now seek cases across the globe. "Evil, Inc" is one of the early novels showing this. -Joe Sherry
