What the hardy boys finisher?

There seems to be a typo in your question. If you meant to ask about the Hardy Boys, they are fictional teenage detective characters created by Edward Stratemeyer. They solve mysteries and crimes in a series of books written under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon.

Who is the author of the Hardy Boys?

Franklin W. Dixon (pseudonym) is listed as the author of all the Hardy Boys and Ted Scott series books. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate (c. 1904-early 1980s), a "book packager." Stratemeyer would create a series name, pseudonym, character set, and plot outlines for each story, sending the materials to "ghostwriters" who would flesh out these materials into a full series. He wrote the Bobsy Twins, Nancy Drew, and Hardy Boys' series. ND and HB are still published today by his granddaughters' team of authors.

The first ghostwriter of the Hardy Boys series was Leslie McFarlane, a Canadian writer who had worked with Stratemeyer before on the Dave Fearless series and other stories. He worked on volumes 1-16, 22-24, and either he or his first wife, Amy, contributed to volume 26.

After the Syndicate was sold to Simon & Schuster in the early 1980's, Mega Books was hired to take over contracting ghostwriters. Nowadays, Simon & Schuster contracts ghostwriters for the Tom Swift, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew stories themselves. Because contractual obligations have always required that ghostwriters not disclose their identities, a complete list of authors post-Syndicate are not available. Records for the Syndicate ghostwriters came from the New York Public Library's Stratemeyer Syndicate Archives.

Notes

Note 1: Correspondence between Stratemeyer and Amy McFarlane shows that Leslie was supposedly fishing when the outline for Freighter came in, so Amy took the job of writing it. This information has been disputed by the McFarlane family, and the answer is currently unknown.

Note 2: Conrad Fuchs wrote this book in German and Syndicate editor Lilo Wuenn translated the manuscript into English.

Note 3: Karl Harr III is Harriet Adams's grandson.

Note 4: Larry Mike Garmon fell ill during the writing of this book and an unknown Ghostwriter finished it.

Note 5: In the words of Mr. Oliver: "Well, if you had seen the original manuscripts, you?d know why the editors wanted someone to rewrite them. I think Mega-Books had a pretty tight budget. They couldn?t exactly throw big money at established writers; so sometimes they took a chance on a new writer -- and sometimes that didn?t work out."

Note 6: Larry-Mike Garmon created the plot and outlined the Nancy Drew-Hardy Boys Supermystery Buried in Time. The book was then written by Peter Lerangis.

Note 7: Casefile 128, Explosive Force, was written but not released.

Note 8: According to the author, this volume (172) was originally planned as the end of the series.

Note 9: Thanks to Hardy & Hardy Investigations (www.synsine.com) for Chris Lampton and Ron Goulart.
