The Flickering Torch Mystery is Volume 22 in the original Hardy Boys book series published by Grosset & Dunlap.
In the Original 1943 Version- The boys investigate the mysterious disappearance of rare silkworms at a Scientific research facility while working at an Experimental farm during their summer vacation. The mystery deepens to include the theft of Government building materials- A case being investigated by their famous father, Fenton.
For the Revised 1971 version- When two suspicious plane accidents occur near Marlin Crag Airport, the two Hardy brothers investigate the case and find themselves in greater danger than they anticipated. This involves investigating a restaurant with a guitar combo, the Flickering Torch, and smashing an illegal plot to make industrial diamonds using uranium isotopes from smuggled coal from the United Kingdom.
