DCI Judas Iscariot: Books 1-2

Introducing the first two books in a most unusual detective series...

BOOK 1: JUDAS THE HERO

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 at Scotland Yard known as The Black Museum. 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 is delivered to the Black Museum and his world is turned inside out. Again.

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 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 fail. But there are those who will fight his corner, too.

BOOK 2: THE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHTNING

Judas finds himself 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 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 a very special 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's been ordered to protect. And even if he defeats the enemy, will it truly be enough to earn this most famous betrayer the redemption he so desperately craves?
