Fourth Seal and Lamb in Mayfair are the landlords from Hell.
Their properties are dangerously dilapidated, with radioactive chemicals in the water supply, unescapable fire escapes, and breath-stealing fibres in the walls.
So how is it that not a single bedsit, flat, house or apartment block they own is empty?
Florence Snoutsville, the newest reporter for The Newgate Calendar, the Underworld's newspaper of choice, is investigating the sudden disappearance of an entire Clan of London’s fairies and stumbles across something that will change her life. If she lives that long.
Florence is forced to turn to the Black Museum and DCI Judas Iscariot.
Judas is already under attack from evil forces without and within. There are traitors in his midst; he's surrounded by enemies, old and new, duplicitous witches with dubious intent, shadowy angels with secret agendas, and rumours of fiery metal beasts running the rails deep below the surface.
So, will this be the End of Days for Judas, or can he finally earn his way into Heaven?
This story was first published as A Burning in the Heavens. This revised version, titled The Viking and the Newgate Calendar published in August 2026
