The Charlie Glass Series
Book Two
Power. Vengeance. A criminal world with its own laws.
The Case
A trafficked artefact leads Charlie into an organisation that calls itself a church and operates like a state. Beneath the marble of an old European city, she finds an economy of stolen relics — and the men who treat priceless history as a private currency.
To bring them down she will have to walk into their cathedral. Unarmed. Alone. And carrying the one piece of evidence they have killed three people to recover.
Gods of the Underworld is the second Charlie Glass novel. It is a book about institutions that have outlived their usefulness but not their appetite, and about a woman who has finally stopped waiting for permission.
“
Tense, atmospheric, and ferociously well-plotted. Carson writes like she has lived this — and you suspect, on some level, she has.

Themes & Texture
An old European capital — incense, marble, rain on cobbles, a confession booth that opens onto a vault.
A criminal church and the men who launder relics through its altar. Three deaths already. Charlie’s name on the fourth file.
Charlie alone, undercover, and finally angry. Her instincts have caught up with her training. Both, this time, are right.
