Plot Blurb: It appears that a three-year-old murder has finally been solved, but the Hardy Boys think otherwise.  Joe feels an old acquaintance is being railroaded, but when he and Frank investigate, Joe incurs the wrath of a special agent on the case who suddenly thinks Joe would make a very good suspect!

Splash Page: "Be nice," Frank ordered Joe, remembering his father's lecture earlier.  "Hello Agent Patrick," Frank said as the man came to a stop beside their table.  He gave a curt nod to Frank then looked down at Joe.

"So, you think being Fenton Hardy's son is going to keep you from being prosecuted as being an accessory to Miller's murder?" he asked quietly.  Frank's eyes narrowed in dislike as the man spoke.  "I'm going to prove you helped Barley kill Miller.  Heck, you probably were behind the whole thing and just made Barley your stoop."

"That's enough!" Frank demanded, slamming his hands palm down on the table and standing up, his brown eyes shooting fire.  "Unless you have evidence of everything you just said, I suggest you clear out and stay far away.  Otherwise, we'll have you up for defamation of character and harassment.  Do I make myself clear?" he finished, his voice never altering it's soft tone.

"Are you threatening me?" Agent Patrick countered, sneering at Frank.

"I don't make threats," Frank stated calmly.  "Only promises."
