The Han Solo to Luke Skywalker or the Moriarty to Sherlock Holmes. The White Witch of Narnia or the pig Napoleon. Carmilla or Loki or Black Mariah. There’s more than can be listed, and and all too often, we fall in love with them: Scoundrels. Whether they’re villains or rogues, merciless killers, or thieves with codes of honour, so often, they steal the show. The tight-laced lead plays the straight man or woman to their jokes and schemes. Included in this anthology are stories about thieves with hearts of gold, and adventurers who aren’t so noble.
