ABOUT THE AUTHOR

William Hjortsberg's 'Falling Angel' was not only made into the masterful 'Angelheart' starring Mickey Rourke, but was also involved in Ridley Scott's ill-fated 'Legend' which was based on Hjortsberg's original screenplay but which ended up having to be radically doctored so as not to offend the unicorn-loving masses - and consequently lost it's coherence.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Filmed as Angel Heart by Alan Parker

An outstanding, spellbinding novel of murder, mystery and the occult, Falling Angel pits a tough New York private eye, Harry Angel against the most fearsome adversary a detective ever faced - one Louis Cyphre. For Angel a routine missing-persons case 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.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"...One of the greatest mysteries ever written..." - Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Independent

"...A terrific book...I've never read anything remotely like it. Trying to imagine what might have happened if Raymond Chandler had written the Exorcist is as close as I can come...." - Stephen King,

"...Masterfully shocking..." - The Observer

"...Brilliant and frightening ..." - Thomas McGuane,

"...A sort of ultimate detective story...it is one breathless read in high paced prose..." - Thomas Keneally,
