"The Billion Dollar Ransom" is the title of a Hardy Boys Digest novel, written by Franklin W. Dixon. Sometimes it goes by the number of 73 in the series, a continuation of the original novels, and sometimes as the 15th, as it is the 15th published by Simon & Schuster after Grosset & Dunlap lost rights to publish new Hardy Boys books in 1979.

Plot summary

The Hardy boys help out when a magicians' tournament is threatened by mysterious happenings. Frank and Joe naturally catch the magician who kidnapped the President and all culprits by slowly closing in on their position and taking control.
