The Hardy Boys #4: Malled

Things heat up when the night before the opening, Frank, Joe, and eight others are mysteriously locked in the mall—with a murderer on the loose. That is when everything goes crazy: water beds cause a flood, sporting goods become deadly weapons, the electronics store goes haywire, an elevator runs out of control, there is a fire in the food court, and there is even danger in the dress shop. Can Frank and Joe, along with the others, make it through the night alive?
