What is Evil, Inc. About?
The Hardy Boys' Big Adventure
The story begins with the Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, on a vacation in New York City. While there, they spot a mysterious person known as The Gray Man. He is a secret agent who often works with the Hardy family.
A Dangerous Mission in France
The Gray Man is investigating a dangerous criminal group in France. He doesn't want Frank and Joe involved because the case is very risky. But the Hardy Boys are determined to help! They secretly work their way into the investigation.
Soon, they find themselves going undercover in France. They pretend to be people involved in illegal dealings. To fit in, they even dye their hair and wear grungy clothes, like punk rock fans!
Uncovering Renyard and Company
The brothers get involved with a company called Renyard and Company. This company secretly sells dangerous and illegal items. Frank and Joe face many dangers. At one point, they are almost trapped in a machine! Luckily, a woman named Denise helps them escape.
The book is full of twists and turns. It seems like many characters are not who they appear to be. Even Denise's loyalty is unclear at times.
Captured by the Sûreté
The Hardy Boys are even captured by the French special police, called the Sûreté. But they use their clever detective skills to escape from their captors.
Solving the Mystery
Towards the end of the book, the Chairman of Renyard and Company and his partners chase the boys. They try to stop Frank and Joe from revealing their secrets. Denise arrives just in time to help the brothers.
