(2025)(A book in the DCI Judas Iscariot and the Black Museum series)
An omnibus of novels by Martin Davey
If you like the Rivers of London series, The Netherweird Chronicles, The Dresden Files, The King's Watch, The Vinyl Detectives, Locke and Key, Sandman, and Crow Investigations, then this is for you.
Welcome to the Black Museum, a page-turning thriller series unlike anything you've read before, featuring the most unexpected and unlikely hero imaginable.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.
In Book One, our unlikely and unexpected hero's investigations take 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. Danger is everywhere, and characters from London's evil past are queuing up to see him fall, but some 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 Judas will finally be forgiven for the crime of all crimes and finally find peace.
In Book Two, 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.
In Book Three, DCI Judas Iscariot 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.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
