The Devil and his Boy

The Devil and his Boy

London is dirty, distant and dangerous but that's where orphan Tom Falconer is heading. And he's got a whole assortment of vicious criminals hot on his heels. Tom is helpless and alone until he meets Moll Cutpurse, a thirteen-year-old pickpocket. Together they find themselves chased across the city by the murderous Ratsey. But it's only on the first night of a new play - The Devil and his Boy - that Tom realises that the fate of the Queen and indeed the entire country rests in his hands
