Resurrection. Revenge. Real Estate. A brand new short story from the Black Museum.
DCI Judas Iscariot of Scotland Yard¿s occult division `The Black Museum¿ is between cases. Or rather, he was. Cat Tabby - magical, mysterious and mischievous, has just paid him a visit. The infamous feline has sniffed out some trouble in the East End, and wants to do his civic duty by reporting the crime to the only man in a position to stop paranormal perpetrators. The victim is Jack The Ripper, but who are the women responsible for his apparent demise? And why has a cat known for consorting with the shadier elements of the capital¿s underworld decided to risk one of his nine lives by turning snitch?
Judas returns to London¿s streets to investigate, and swiftly discovers that there¿s more to the crime than meets the cat¿s eye. He finds himself stuck between the city¿s former streetwalkers and the man responsible for keeping those same streets clean ¿ a certain Mr Richard Whittington, currently installed as London¿s Mayor. It¿s not long before he starts wishing he¿d bought reinforcements.
