The Apeman's Secret is the title of a Hardy Boys Digest novel, written by Franklin W. Dixon. Sometimes it goes by the number of 62 in the series, a continuation of the original novels, and sometimes as the 4th, as it is the 4th published by Simon & Schuster after Grosset & Dunlap lost rights to publish new Hardy Boys books in 1979.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The Hardy Boys investigate the disappearance of an eighteen-year-old girl suspected of joining a sinister religious cult. A few days later the boys get an offbeat assignment from a comic book publisher: The real life double of his character, Apeman, is turning up everywhere and causing considerable damage! Frank and Joe tackle both cases and uncover an intricate scheme by a clever gang of crooks!
