Mystery of the Samurai Sword is the title of a Hardy Boys Digest novel, written by Franklin W. Dixon. Sometimes it goes by the number of 60 in the series, a continuation of the original novels, and sometimes as the 2nd, as it is the 2nd published by Simon & Schuster after Grosset & Dunlap lost rights to publish new Hardy Boys books in 1979.
A Japanese business tycoon mysteriously disappears and, soon after, a rare samurai sword is stolen from an art gallery. Suspecting a connection, the Hardy Boys try to solve the mystery.
