The House on the Cliff

The House on the Cliff is a collection of previously published twenty five stories published in 1927 by British writer Franklin W. Dixon. The House On The Cliff is the second book in the original The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories published by Grosset & Dunlap. Frank and Joe Hardy are investigating a mysterious old house high on the cliffs above Barmet Bay when they are frightened off by a scream. The boys return to the apparently haunted house when they make a connection between the place and a smuggling case their father is working on. Fenton Hardy, the famous private detective and father of the Hardy Boys, asks his sons to help him with his latest case involving a criminal named Felix Snattman and the illegal drug trade smuggling of stolen drugs. Hardy directs Frank and Joe to a house on the cliff, whose location overlooking Barmet Bay offers an excellent vantage point to watch for smugglers.
