Books like Hide-and-Sneak by Franklin W. Dixon
In Hide‑and‑Sneak, a student film’s quest for fresh talent draws the Hardy Boys and their buddy Chet onto their long‑neglected motorboat, the Sleuth. The filming, set entirely on Barmet Bay, is meant to be improvised, but the plot thickens when a yacht owned by a financial whiz drifts aright, and an unseen figure stalks the marina. As the boys chase clues and navigate high‑speed chases across the water, they risk running afoul of the harbor patrol—and the mystery’s deadly promise.
