The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brothers is a detective fiction series of books published by Aladdin Paperbacks (an imprint of Simon & Schuster), which replaced The Hardy Boys Digest paperbacks in early 2005. All the books in the series have been written under the pen name of Franklin W. Dixon.
The Undercover Brothers is about two teenage brother detectives, Frank and Joe Hardy, who are the sons of world-famous PI Fenton Hardy. Although there are many similarities in this series to previous Hardy Boys series, there are also many changes, for example::
The Murder House Trilogy is the first Hardy Boys mini-series since 1993 and only the third one ever. (The other two are the Operation Phoenix Trilogy and the Ring of Evil Trilogy.) All books following this arc are trilogies.
Two boys were seen committing crimes all over Bayport, reportedly named Joe and Frank Hardy (obviously a pseudonym to escape the police).
A college reporter, Kathy Boutry who was on trail of several huge stories has disappeared, possibly kidnapped in Atlantic City, NJ. It seems like everyone in Atlantic City has something to hide.
The brothers must solve a very creepy mystery about an abandoned asylum and find out who is haunting it.
The Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys Super Mystery series (which is a spin-off of the Undercover Brothers and Girl Detective series) was first published in June 2007 and is not to be confused with the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys SuperMystery series that was published between 1988 and 1998.
In the spring of 2005, NBM launched its new imprint, Papercutz, with the publication of two three part comic book series; Nancy Drew The Demon of River Heights and The Hardy Boys The Ocean of Osyria. After the completion of both series, the The Demon of River Heights series and The Ocean of Osyria series were both collected into 92 page graphic novels, becoming the first titles in the Nancy Drew Graphic Novel series and the Hardy Boys Graphic Novel series respectively.
