Storyline
After buying a book at a second-hand bookstall in Bloomsbury, you leaf through it at a nearby café. You are surprised when a note falls out of the book. You feel a shiver as you pick it up and read it. “Beware Book Lover! They will strike again today. I can't stop them without your help. Go to the museum before it’s too late.” You are intrigued. Is it a joke, or does someone really need your help? You are a book lover, after all. You decide to find out more.
