“"CHECKMATE!" said Frank Hardy as he glanced across the chessboard at his brother Joe.”
Charles Leslie McFarlane (October 25, 1902 – September 6, 1977) was a Canadian journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and filmmaker, who is most famous for ghostwriting many of the early books in the very successful Hardy Boys series, using the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, and the Nancy Drew series under Carolyn Keene.
