Unraveling the Mystery
In Tic-Tac-Terror, Frank and Joe Hardy get a very important job. They need to help a famous spy. This spy is from a group called HAVOC. HAVOC is a network of people who cause trouble around the world. The spy, known as "Igor," wants to stop working for HAVOC. He wants to join the U.S. side instead.
The Missing Emerald Clue
While helping Igor, another big mystery pops up. A super valuable emerald has disappeared. This emerald is worth a million dollars! It came all the way from South America. Frank and Joe start to wonder if Igor might be involved in the emerald's disappearance.

They must use their detective skills to figure out the bomb's secret. They also need to save themselves and solve the mystery of the missing emerald.
