Hardy Boys Adventures #16- Stolen Identity

[tomswift2002]

I just finished the book.  5.5/10.  It was good, however the author kept throwing in references to other cases that the boys had solved but we the reader had not read (kind of like "Dead of Night", but in that case you knew what the author was referring to).  And the crooks were connected to some of these old cases, but without much more background, they really came across as two random bad guys. 

I'm still confused as to what the title was referring to.  No one's identity was stolen, and the one closest thing turned out to be a fictional, made-up identity.

The action was good, but the plot needed more work.
