Frank and Joe Hardy face their toughest case yet: a plot to steal a crucial space program instrument. After a mysterious stowaway's warning and disappearance, they find their father's documents missing and strange footprints outside. Their pursuit of the elusive 'Footprints' spy ring leads them to remote islands off South America's coast. Can they unravel the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

A plot to steal a top-secret instrument vital to the United States space program poses a challenging case for Frank and Joe Hardy. After rescuing a South American stowaway who mutters a warning about “Footprints “ and then vanishes, Frank and Joe discover that documents belonging to their famous detective father are missing and that footprints linger under a window. The young detective’s search for the diabolical mastermind of the “Footprints” spy ring takes them on a flight to a group of islands off the coast of South America.
