The Stone Idol is the title of a Hardy Boys Digest novel, written by Franklin W. Dixon. Sometimes it goes by the number of 65 in the series, a continuation of the original novels, and sometimes as the 7th, as it is the 7th published by Simon & Schuster after Grosset & Dunlap lost rights to publish new Hardy Boys books in 1979.
