Bookroo's summary

Frank and Joe Hardy dive into a mystery surrounding the sunken freighter Katawa and its legendary treasure, the golden head of Pharaoh Rhamaton IV. As they investigate, they uncover suspicious claims and potential fraud. With their detective father, they must untangle the truth behind the treasure and the enigmatic Whalebone Island. Can they solve the case before it's too late?

From the publisher

Strange events involve Frank and Joe Hardy in a mystery which shrouds an ancient treasure—the golden head of the Pharaoh Rhamaton IV. The owner of the million-dollar golden Pharaoh’s head claims it was aboard the freighter Katawa, which sank not far from Whalebone Island. But suspicious developments indicate that Mehmet Zufar may be trying to defraud the shipping line’s insurance company. Frank and Joe enthusiastically accept the challenge of their famous detective father to assist him in investigating the complex case for Transmarine Underwriters.
