1981 UK Armada paperback edition of book 60 in the series, originally published in the US in 1980 as book 62*. Written by James Duncan Lawrence, credited as usual to 'Franklin W. Dixon', with interior illustrations by Leslie Morrill. Cover by Peter Archer.

*At this point there were two earlier books, The House on the Cliff and The Hidden Harbor Mystery, that had never been published in the UK. I don't know if they were published at a later date.
