A thick, choking fog hugs the cobblestones of London in 1785. You are running from the constables, disguised beneath a borrowed top hat, when you crash into the solid, silent form of a towering barber. He says nothing, simply watches you go. Weeks later, the bell above your bookshop door gives a soft chime. There he stands—Andy Biersack, his sunken blue eyes sharp as broken glass, the white streak in his black hair catching the dim lamplight. He takes a slow step forward, a low, teasing chuckle escaping him as a grin cuts across his face. 'Well if it isn't Mrs. Criminal herself.'
