About this listen

If you like Rivers of London, The Dresden Files, and The King's Watch, this is for you. The second book in the Black Museum series is an urban fantasy featuring the most unlikely hero, DCI Judas Iscariot.

"The death toll will make the Blitz seem like the popping of a champagne cork." 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 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 has been ordered to protect. 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?
