Dixon, Franklin W. (pseudonym of Leslie McFarlane) The Great Airport Mystery (Hardy Boys #9)
New York Grosset & Dunlap / G&D 1930 1st edition, early printing Hard Cover Very Good About Very Good Walter S. Rogers
After being responsible for a drunken pilot losing his employment with the postal service (I thought it was a requirement!), the Hardys find themselves the target of his revenge, and are soon charged with robbery, unable to provide suitable alibis for themselves for the time of the crime. (Oh, dear! Sounds grim for the lads this time! Will their lack of an alibi see them charged, convicted and locked up, objects of attention for affection-starved cons with plenty of soap and loads of time on their hands? Probably not.) Red cloth w/front cover sporting brown lettering in black outline, black/red shield w/red/black lettering, w/spine lettering in black. 210 pages + 10 pages of advertisements for other G&D titles. Dust jacket lists to this title on front flap, w/12 Ted Scott titles listed on rear flap (apparently the 1st state dust jacket has 11), and 9 X-Bar-X titles on rear panel. Some slant, light edgewear, mild wear to corners/spine ends, dusty/lightly smudged edges, light tanning. Dust jacket w/moderate edgewear, 3/4" tear to front panel, short edge tears, sunned spine (see scan), some minor chipping to corners/spine ends (naturally we'll slap a mylar sleeve on this jacket to prevent any further wear and tear). All in all a fairly nice copy of a seriously collectible Hardy Boys title.

Light spine sunning, moderate edgewear, some crinkling to top and bottom of front panel, thick crease to bottom portion of front flap.

Oh, here we go: After "a clue to the rash of burglaries taking place in their hometown of Bayport" sends them to New Orleans during Mardi Gras (how very, very convenient, boys) Frank and Joe and Chet "get involved in a deadly voodoo cult."

While they're solving the zombie-arsonist mystery, they also find time to "help a circus owner, whose Big Top has been mysteriously plagued by dangerous accidents and terror." (Probably zombies, again, but with no mention of brains, one can't be sure.) Grey cloth w/black spine lettering, 185 pages, dust jacket illustration by Steven Assel. Dust jacket w/a hint of spine sunning, a suggestion of edgewear, thin scratch to rear panel. A very nice copy of a difficult title to find in collectible condition.
