Together in this one book are two of the Hardy Boys’ oldest mysteries that began the classic mystery series of the sleuthing siblings. In The Tower Treasure, the Hardy boys' summer is ruined by a red-haired robber striking all over town. No robbery is more devastating than of Tower Mansion, home to one of the wealthiest families around. To prove the mansion’s caretaker is innocent, the Hardy boys will have to solve the mystery of the stolen jewels before time runs out. In The House on the Cliff, Frank and Joe are asked to help out their famous private detective father on his latest drug smuggling case, which sends them to an old house on a cliff to serve as lookouts. But when cries for help lure the boys inside the house, they realize they could be in more danger than they thought.

Franklin W. Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who were part of a team that wrote The Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (now owned by Simon & Schuster). Dixon was also the writer attributed for the Ted Scott Flying Stories series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.Canadian authorLeslie McFarlaneis believed to have written the first sixteen Hardy Boys books, but worked to a detailed plot and character outline for each story. The outlines are believed to have originated withEdward Stratemeyer, with later books outlined by his daughters Edna C. Squier andHarriet Stratemeyer Adams. Edward and Harriet also edited all books in the series through the mid-1960s. Other writers of the original books include MacFarlane's wife Amy, John Button,Andrew E. Svenson, and Adams herself; most of the outlines were done by Adams and Svenson. A number of other writers and editors were recruited to revise the outlines and update the texts in line with a more modern sensibility, starting in the late 1950s.The principal author for the Ted Scott books wasJohn W. Duffield.
