Death in the Devil's Den (15 page)
A scream rings out through the theatre. The man on
stage is dead! Who killed him? Alfie has a few suspects
in his sights. But when the spotlight turns on
Alfie himself, the search for the murderer becomes
a fight for his own survival.
Alfie knew who it was the moment he saw the body
under the gas lamp. Joe the chimney sweep.
No one else seems to care about the death of a poor
boy, but Alfie has reason to believe that Joe was
murdered. So he and his gang will risk their lives on
the rooftops of London and brave the dark,
dangerous world of the chimney sweeps, until they
uncover the deadly truth.
The body lies beneath a statue in Trafalgar Square.
Alfie and his gang set out to find the murderer, just
as a thick fog turns the London streets into a sinister
maze. But soon Alfie is plunged into a still more
terrifying world hidden below the city . . .
