Bookroo's summary

When Joe Hardy accidentally calls the Pentagon, he and his brother Frank hear the cryptic words "Bombay Boomerang," thrusting them into a perilous mission. As they race to uncover a plot involving stolen missiles and mercury thefts, they must also rescue their father from a dangerous gang. With national security at stake, the Hardys face a ticking clock to thwart a scheme that could wreak havoc across the United States. Will they unravel the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case affecting national security when Joe dials a wrong telephone number and gets the Pentagon. Two words– “Bombay Boomerang”– that the boys hear before the line goes dead plunge them into a whirlpool of danger and intrigue. At the same time, Frank and Joe must save their father from a murderous gang stealing mercury shipments in the Baltimore harbor. With clues linking the mercury thefts to the top secret Super S missile mysteriously stolen from a government arsenal. In a race against time, the three Hardys foil a diabolical scheme to create widespread havoc in the United States.
