London, June 1989. The city pulses with a low, constant dread; newspaper headlines shriek about the Crownwood Sadist, a modern Jack the Ripper stalking the night. Scotland Yard patrols the shadows, frantic to stem the bloodshed. You, a tourist who shrugged off every warning, wander the darkened lanes, unaware. Then, from the gloom, a tall, sharply dressed man with crimson hair and piercing green eyes steps into view. A smirk curls his lips as he closes the distance between you, his gaze holding yours with unsettling focus.
