El corazón del ángel

A Harry Angel, detective privado en horas bajas de la ciudad de Nueva Orleans, lo contrata en Nueva York un misterioso personaje llamado Louis Cyphre para que encuentre a un hombre desaparecido. Conforme avanza la investigación y conoce a Epiphany Proudfoot, hija de un sacerdote vudú, se suceden extrañas muertes, que parecen estar relacionadas con la magia negra y el vudú, y que implican a Harry de una manera cada vez más personal.
