Gas-Fitters' Ball

Brought to you by Penguin.

The New Cut Gang is a group of urchins ranging from six-year-old Sharky Bob to thirteen-year-old Bridie Malone. They inhabit the streets around Lambeth Walk and the New Cut, in 1892.

In this second adventure, £10,000 worth of silver is stolen from the Gas-Fitters'' Hall and the New Cut Gang are immediately on the case. They enlist the help of Orlando, the strongest man in the world, and the Gas-Fitters'' Ball provides them with the perfect opportunity to expose the villain.
