Boys' Interest Detective Stories Suspense A Power Boys Adventure

The Mystery of the Vanishing Lady sends the Power Boys—Mel Lyle’s classic 1960s teen sleuths—into a twisty whodunit that keeps middle-grade and nostalgic adult readers guessing. This hardcover, 1967 edition pairs fast-paced adventure with period illustrations that capture the era’s boy-detective charm.

A previous owner added a neat gift inscription on the front flyleaf, giving the book a friendly provenance without claiming author signature. The interior pages remain clean and unmarked, free of dog-ears, while the sturdy binding still feels tight in hand.

Exterior shows the light scuffing and page-edge toning expected of a vintage title loved once before, yet the colors on the jacket remain bright. From a smoke-free home, it’s ready to slip right onto a collector’s shelf or into a young reader’s first classic mystery set.

Perfect for fans of Hardy Boys–style suspense, juvenile series collectors, or anyone hunting an affordable, readable copy of this scarce Power Boys Adventure.
