About this ebook

Strange events involve Frank and Joe Hardy in a mystery which shrouds an ancient treasure—the golden head of the Pharaoh Rhamaton IV. The owner of the million-dollar golden Pharaoh’s head claims it was aboard the freighter Katawa, which sank not far from Whalebone Island. But suspicious developments indicate that Mehmet Zufar may be trying to defraud the shipping line’s insurance company. Frank and Joe enthusiastically accept the challenge of their famous detective father to assist him in investigating the complex case for Transmarine Underwriters.

Ratings and reviews

i thought that it was a good book and it kept you on the edge of your seat. I read a lot of Hardy boys when I was young but this one is a good one. I would rate 4 and a half stars but i cannot.

one of their " best" mysteries! my only complaint is that it was a little too short. otherwise" EXCELLENT."

I love the whole collection Hardy boys
