The Lion and the Lamb

An English noble plots revenge on the London gang whose betrayal sent him to prison in this classic crime thriller.

With the recent death of his father, David Newberry stands to inherit a massive fortune, a large estate, and the title of Lord Newberry. But he can’t accept it just yet . . .

A year ago, David returned penniless to England from Australia, and his father refused to help. To make money, David reluctantly joined the Lambs, a notorious London gang run by Tottie Green with assistance from the alluring Belle. But on his first burglary, everything went wrong, and he was left to take the rap.

After a stint in Wandsworth prison, David is back on the street. He would like to move on with his life and receive his inheritance, but Tottie and the Lambs aren’t ready to let him go. He has no choice—the only way for David to truly be free is to take down the crew who set him up and get his revenge . . .
