A spellbinding novel of murder, mystery, and the occult, Falling Angel pits a tough New York private eye against the most fearsome adversary a detective ever faced. For Harry Angel, a routing missing persons case soon turns into a fiendish nightmare of voodoo and black magic, of dizzying peril and violent death--a world in which the shadow he chases seems to be the shadow he casts.--Cover
