The
Casefiles series (1987-1998) consists of 127 smaller, "pocket-sized" volumes.
The series was marketed as being for an older reader, and, indeed, the
series deals with more adult themes, including plenty of bombs, murder,
smuggling, world-saving, etc.
.
The
series introduced two new "major" characters, The Grey Man and Vanessa.
The latter was introduced in volume 69 to be Joe's girlfriend after Iola
was killed in a car bomb meant for the Hardys. Both characters are Casefiles-series
exclusives and do not appear in the Digests.
.
Volume
#95 was reprinted in 2003 in a slightly oversized paperback format.
.
No
authors were announced by Simon & Schuster, but a few have been 'sleuthed
out' by enthusiasts.For more information, please see the Ghostwriters
page.
