"The Murder House Trilogy" will be a three part detective fiction mini-series in "The Hardy Boys Undercover Brothers", published by Aladdin Paperbacks (an imprint of Simon & Schuster). The first book in the trilogy, "Deprivation House", will be published on May 20th, 2008, with books #2 "House Arrest" and #3 "Murder House" published in July and September respectively.

The words "Undercover Brothers" are written inside the "B" in "Boys" on both covers, but this does not necessarily mean that these three books will be part of the main "Undercover Brothers" series, as is seen with the "Super Mystery" series, the "Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys SuperMystery" series, and the graphic novel series, which all say "Undercover Brothers" on their covers, but are not part actually part of the main series.

Foreshadowing

When the titles of "Deprivation House", "House Arrest", and "Murder House" were released, the fact that all three titles had the word ‘‘house’’ in them gave the implication that these three books might form a trilogy. This was confirmed, and the name of the trilogy was revealed when Simon & Schuster released the cover art for "Deprivation House", with ‘‘book one in "The Murder House Trilogy"’’ printed at the top.

Known Information

This series will introduce a new cover art style for the Undercover Brothers books and it will be the first time in almost seven years that Frank and Joe will be featured on the cover.

"The Murder House Trilogy" will be the first Hardy Boys mini-series since 1993 and only the third official one ever. (The other two are the "Operation Phoenix Trilogy" and the "Ring of Evil Trilogy", with Casefiles #8 "See No Evil", 16 "Line Of Fire" and #55 "Beyond The Law" being the only unofficial trilogy.)

Also noteworthy is that The Hardy Boys Super Mystery #3 "Haunted" will be published on August 8th, right in between the release dates for "House Arrest" and "Murder House". It is not known why Simon & Schuster would want to disrupt The Murder House Trilogy, but it is possible that "Haunted" will tie-in with the the trilogy.

Aladdin Paperbacks will also publish a "Nancy Drew" "Girl Detective" mini-series; the "Perfect Mystery Trilogy" which will run from June 2008 - October 2008.
