Description
The Black Angel is a story about a young woman who goes missing from the streets of New York, and the lengths to which those who have taken her will go to keep her hidden. But as the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that this is not just a simple case of abduction - there are darker forces at play. As private detective Charlie Parker becomes embroiled in the case, he begins to uncover a web of secrets and lies that stretch back decades. The disappearance is linked to an ancient mystery, one that involves a mysterious church of bones in Eastern Europe, a tragic event at a French monastery in 1944, and a legendary prize that has been sought by evil men for centuries. At the heart of this mystery is the Black Angel, a figure who is both a myth and a reality. It is a presence that is felt, but not seen, and its power is both captivating and terrifying. As Parker delves deeper into the case, he must confront the darkness that lurks at the heart of human nature, and the true horror that the Black Angel represents.
