The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Desert Giant by Franklin W. Dixon

The photos of the books aren't large because they're old. I bought this book in the school's Christmas Bazaar. I was so happy.
The father of one of the two men who had disappeared from the desert asked the Hardys to help the uncover the mystery. The Hardy boys were assigned to this task bringing their friend Chet Morton along. Willard Grafton, an industrialist, disappeared in the deserts together with his partner and the boys wanted to uncover this together with gang activity intending to defraud the US government. 
They find Willard Grafton's fellow explorer took part in passing fake cheques in the US and kept Grafton as a hostage. He managed to hide away in a pony farm where he changed his name and identity so Wetherby, Grafton's partner, wouldn't find him. 
At the end, all is well as they captured the bad guys!
Woohoo!
All Hardy Boys books are kinda the same. Sort of.
