Adventures of the Flash Gang

Where is the Flash Gang? Pittsburgh' s most notorious thieves haven' t struck for a year, not since a devastating fire resulted in the supposed death of two streeters. Pearl and Lewis- along with their pals, Duck and Mac- are alive and well, just in hiding. But now, their hideout is crumbling under the relentless rain. It' s been a winter of bitter winds and slim pickings, and their friendship is starting to fray. To make matters worse, streeters are disappearing. Are they skipping town or is something more nefarious afoot? When one of their own vanishes, the gang goes all out to unravel the mystery, which once again points to enemy #1: the steel tycoon who had Lewis' s father killed. But Pittsburgh is flooding and the tycoon' s plans are in motion. If they want to save their friends, they' re running out of time.

In 1936 twelve-year-old streeter Lewis Carter finds himself in Berlin, Germany, at the heart of Nazi territory, on a convoluted trail to uncovering the whereabouts of his long-missing, presumed-dead father, Professor Harold Carter. Lewis is armed with a street map, an address...and of course his best friend, Pearl Alice Clavell. But even Pearl' s wealthy and somewhat suspect connections cannot protect them from the dangers that lurk at every swastika-draped corner. As they draw closer to finding Lewis' s father, they discover that the professor is at the center of a deadly plot that threatens global stability and the very outcome of the impending war. The two friends must use all their street wiles- with the help of a Flash or two- to save the day, as well as their skins!
