The Apeman's Secret is the title of a Hardy Boys Digest novel, written by Franklin W. Dixon. Sometimes it goes by the number of 62 in the series, a continuation of the original novels, and sometimes as the 4th, as it is the 4th published by Simon & Schuster after Grosset & Dunlap lost rights to publish new Hardy Boys books in 1979.
