The Murder of The Mudlarks

If you like Rivers of London, The Dresden Files, and the King's Watch series, this is for you. The 6th full-length instalment in the Black Museum series is a page-turning Urban Fantasy, with the most unlikely hero you can imagine.

Stand away, you people of the river, and cast off your lines

Or death will come for you as surely as the turn of the tide

The ancient and most secret society of smugglers, pirates, and thieves rules the capital's rivers and waterways.

They have pooled their resources and prospered for over five hundred years, but when the young Mudlark Prince is murdered, their union is shattered, and the great river's grey waters begin to run red.

DCI Judas Iscariot of Scotland Yard's secret occult magic division, the Black Museum,
investigates, and soon realises that something else is stirring in the city, something old, evil, and very powerful.

Dick Whittington and his feline fixer – Cat Tabby, return, massive stone Golems stalk the capital's dark streets with murderous intent, angels fall from the sky, and in the dark places beneath the city,
the Old Giants awaken to the promise of battle and bloodshed.

If they fight – London falls.

If the killer of the Mudlark Prince escapes – London falls.

Judas is between the hammer and the anvil once again.

And if God is the hammer, then who is the anvil?
