Fenton Hardy is a private investigator in the popular Hardy Boys novels.
He is the father of Frank and Joe and is married to Laura Hardy. He is a retired NYPD Detective Lieutenant of the 71st Precinct, and currently a famous, top private investigator who runs his own Private Investigator business. He lives with his family in Bayport with his sister, Aunt Gertrude. He is also the cofounder of a top secret organization ATAC, American Teens Against Crime, the agency that his sons, Frank and Joe work for. Although he is in his 40s, he is still one step ahead of his boys. With the help of being healthy, fit, and smart, he quickly outwits most criminals in Bayport. He owns an old Crown Victoria. He took it with him when he retired from the police force. He also was the head of the Association of Private Investigators a few years back. He is also well known for his accuracy with a pistol; at least one Bayport criminal alleges that he never misses his mark.
