The Lion and the Lamb

Fresh from prison and suddenly heir to a title and a fortune, David Newberry should be able to leave his past behind. Instead, he sets out to destroy the ruthless London gang that betrayed him and sent him to jail. In the shadows of the city’s underworld—among crooked pubs, glittering drawing rooms, and dangerous backstreets—David wages a private war against criminals who believe no one ever escapes them. Fast, stylish, and steeped in suspense, The Lion and the Lamb blends gangster intrigue, aristocratic drama, and razor-sharp revenge in classic E. Phillips Oppenheim fashion.
