The Hardy brothers are competing at athletics (they are multiskilled) when they get involved in trainer-based crime. The British use of the word “trainer”, as in the type of shoe.
It’s a fun and dangerous case, and although the regular guest cast get barely a look in, there are an unusual for the era (of these books) number of women represented in business roles.
Nothing massively to criticise in terms of the plot - does well as a mystery with a good number of red herrings and possible routes for the reader’s mind to go down.
