This is for you if you like Rivers of London, The Dresden Files, and the King's Watch series. The third full-length instalment in the Black Museum series is a page-turning Urban Fantasy with the most unlikely hero you can imagine. "This is more than just bloody murder Inspector; this is a race war, with magic on one side and a right evil monster who thinks it's the devil's work on the other." Archibald Strop. Editor. The Newgate Calendar. DCI Judas Iscariot of Scotland Yard's occult magic division, the Black Museum, has only been back in London for five minutes when things get bloody. Bloody quickly. Something evil has returned from the depths of the London Necropolis Burial Grounds. There's only one thing that its black heart desires – the extermination of the Fae and the destruction of the magical underworld they inhabit. The attacks begin, the death toll rises, and Judas quickly realises that the Fae and all the races of London's Under Folk are in danger. And with fairy pickpockets, Welsh tree spirits that love a good hustle, Dick Whittington's cat, angels and lots of friendly fire from a new threat to the Black Museum to contend with, he's far busier than he would like. Then Lucifer the Morningstar, First of the Fallen, arrives unannounced; he knows something that Judas doesn't and wants him to change sides as payment for spilling the beans. Surrounded by enemies, always one step behind, and running out of time as usual, it's all looking a bit bleak for Judas. But isn't it always?

Welcome to the Black Museum. A page-turning urban fantasy thriller series, unlike anything you’ve read before. This is for you if you like the Rivers of London series, the Kings Watch, American Gods, and the Dresden Files. Things are not looking good for Detective Inspector Judas Iscariot. Cursed with immortality by a vengeful and angry God, Judas finds himself in present-day London and head of the secret occult crime division known as the Black Museum at Scotland Yard. It’s his job to keep London’s mysterious and macabre underworld under control. He’s on top of his caseload, and everything seems fine until one morning, a pair of severed angel wings are delivered to the Black Museum, and his world is turned inside out and upside down. Again. It’s true that he is one of history’s most hated men, but he’s been given a second chance. But, unfortunately, it could also be his last. His investigation takes him on a journey through a city where angels work in pubs, pulling pints and delivering the post, along invisible pathways created by the ancient druids, to slave pits under construction sites, and on special trains that use Britain’s Ley lines as their tracks. The danger is everywhere, and characters from London’s evil past are queuing up to see him fall, but there are those who will fight his corner, too. WW2 Black Magicians, werewolves in U Boats, and the mysterious ‘10’ all want him dead. Still, If Judas can change – if he can help those that need it most and become a ‘Hero’ – then it’s just possible that he will finally be forgiven for the crime of all crimes and ultimately find peace.

This is for you if you like Urban Fantasy, Rivers of London, The Dresden Files, American Gods, and The King's Watch. Book 2 in the Black Museum series featuring the world's most unlikely hero, DCI Judas Iscariot. DCI Judas Iscariot of Scotland Yard's occult division, the Black Museum, is heading into harm's way – again. The Order of the Black Sun, a secret Nazi society of evil magical practitioners, has stolen a book so powerful that it once resided in the Library of the Heavens, guarded by angels and far from the meddling hand of man. The Order plans to use its arcane power to unleash a terrifying weapon on the world, starting with London. Judas is on for the fight of his long, long life, and he's going to need an extraordinary team to help him win through. Old friends and new – warrior angels, werewolves, a 17th-century highwayman and his trusty steed, ghostly mariners and an enigmatic Atlantean warrior – will stand by him until the end. Or at least he hopes they will. If he fails, the enemy will destroy everything he has been ordered to protect. But, even if he defeats the enemy, will it truly be enough to earn history's most famous betrayer the redemption he so desperately craves? Everything is at stake, and nothing is what it seems. Will it be glory, death or something far worse?

The Black Museum series is a page-turning, magical realism, urban fantasy like no other featuring the most unlikely and unexpected hero you can imagine. When members of the public start killing each other in bizarre circumstances and with no apparent motive, DCI Judas Iscariot of the secret occult magic division at Scotland Yard, known as the Black Museum, is called into action. But, unfortunately, he quickly discovers that a demonic serial killer with a horrifyingly unique M.O. has come to town. Meanwhile, in leafy Highgate, the ghost of the killer of the King's Horses stalks the cemetery. In the Irish Sea, a Patron Saint stirs, and back at Scotland Yard, the seeds of betrayal and deception are sown. The White Witch returns, Sergeant Lace walks into danger, and the First of the Fallen sets a trap on a dark bridge that joins Heaven to Hell. Judas has never been so vulnerable, but there is hope as long as the Black Maria, Bulls-Eye the talking dog and his friend Montague Huxley stand with him. But will it be enough to save the people he loves and the city he serves?

You will love this if you like the Rivers of London series, the tales from the Kings Watch, and the Dresden Files. Two cursed creatures with black hearts and evil intentions meet in secret on a stony beach under a dead sky to agree to the terms of a compact that will set in motion a chain of events that will lead to a bloody civil war in the underworld beneath London’s Underground. Only DCI Judas Iscariot, the world-weary and often misunderstood head of Scotland Yard’s secret occult magic division, the Black Museum, stands in the way. What starts as a simple abduction swiftly escalates into something far darker and more sinister than anything the Black Museum has ever faced. Angels fight and fall; giant black beasts haunt London’s streets; Jack the Ripper returns, murdered trolls surface in the sewers, and something rotten threatens to poison the heart of the Black Museum. Judas is under attack from all sides; then Lucifer the Morningstar appears with a message from God. Can things get any worse? With Judas involved, it’s not a case of if – but when.
