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 and upside down. Again.

Meet Gabe: a good guy making the best of eternity in a place not known for its hospitality. That is, until he's recruited by Judas Iscariot (yes, that Judas) to join a covert team of double agents dedicated to thwarting the chaos unleashed on Earth. Gabe, armed only with his quick wit and zero knowledge of the modern world, must navigate his new role alongside a beautiful, tough-as-nails partner.
