Book excerpt: DCI Judas Iscariot is head of the Metropolitan Police's secret occult crime division located in the Black Museum at Scotland Yard. Cursed with immortality by a vengeful and angry God, Judas now lives in present day London and polices the city's mysterious and macabre underworld.It's true that he is one of history's most hated men, but he's been given a second chance that could also be - his last one. 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 and upside down.His investigation takes him on a journey through a city where angels work in pubs pulling pints and delivering the post and 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 there are also those who will fight his corner too.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 find peace.
