About this book

When crime is running high, one wrong move can mean disaster! Frank and Joe have come halfway around the world to investigate sabotage on a movie set. India's culture and customs may be foreign to them, but when it comes to battling terror, neither brother is a stranger to danger. And as soon as they set foot in this land of mystery, it's bombs away over Bombay! The Hardys rush to the movie set, where there are lights, cameras, and nonstop action. Someone's determined to put them out of commission by whatever means necessary: powerful explosives, razor-edged machetes, a cobra's poisonous fangs. The Hardys can't afford to miss their mark...because this is one flick sure to have a killer climax!
