Angel's Inferno (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781504067188)

A 1950s amnesiac and hard-boiled detective sets out for revenge in this blend of mystery, supernatural horror, and metaphysical fiction.

Private investigator Harry Angel is in a jam. Handcuffed in his apartment along with the cops and a corpse, he stands accused of violently murdering three people. The good news is he knows who did it. But in order to exonerate himself, Harry must first make his escape--and figure out his own identity.

With the authorities hot on his heels, Harry travels from New York and Boston to Paris and the Vatican in search of an elusive stage magician. Eventually piecing together his mysterious past, he descends into the dark world of the occult. And very soon he will have vengeance upon the devil himself . . .

A terrifying thriller, Angel's Inferno is the long-awaited follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated noir suspense novel Falling Angel, the basis of the film Angel Heart.

Praise for Falling Angel

"Terrific . . . One of a kind . . . I've never read anything remotely like it." --Stephen King

"A chilling homage to the hard-boiled detective novel of the Raymond Chandler school." --The New York Times

"A near perfect book . . . Not since Psycho changed the bathing habits of thousands has a novelist so completely turned conceptions inside out." --Los Angeles Times
