Their latest adventure finds Jing and Kir in Seventh Heaven, but it's not part of another big heist, it's actually a maximum security prison for the criminally deranged run by a vampire warden and his hockey-masked guards. Their only hope of escape lies with Campari, the ringleader of a most demented circus. This volume also includes a bonus story about the origins of Jing and Kir's relationship and their first adventure together.

Jing
A thief who steals everything, even stars in the sky and precious human lives.

Kir.
A talking bird who is Jing's constant companion. Together Jing and Kir can fire the Kir Royal attack, a powerful blast which comes from Kir's beak.
