Bookroo's summary

Frank and Joe Hardy are on a mission to expose a dangerous street gang terrorizing Bayport. When their friend Chet is kidnapped by masked thugs, the brothers discover a chilling clue: a blue star tattoo marking the gang members. As they delve deeper, they become targets themselves, realizing the threat is closer than they imagined. Can they unravel the gang's secrets and save their town before it's too late? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking in this thrilling race against time.
