Bookroo's summary

When a new sports facility opens in Bayport, the Hardy brothers are eager to explore. But excitement turns to danger as Joe's girlfriend suffers a shocking accident and Frank becomes a target on the archery range. Are these incidents mere accidents, or is someone sabotaging the competition? As the brothers delve deeper, they must uncover the truth behind the mysterious mishaps. How far will competitors go to secure victory, and can the Hardys stop them before someone gets seriously hurt?
