Bookroo's summary

Frank and Joe Hardy face a baffling case: drivers crash after seeing ominous signposts that disappear without a trace. As they dig deeper, they uncover a plot involving a stolen experimental motor and a kidnapped racehorse. With danger lurking at every turn, can the young detectives unravel the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

In one of the most dangerous and intriguing cases of their careers, Frank and Joe Hardy help their father investigate a series of mysterious car accidents. Each of the drivers had seen a signpost marked DANGER shortly before his accident. The young detectives investigate, only to discover that the signposts have vanished. The attempted theft of a secret experimental motor and the kidnapping of a famous race horse are part of this thrilling case, which proves to be as sinister as the signposts themselves.
