Il passato è in attesa dell'investigatore privato Charlie Parker. Il presente ha la forma di una ragazza, giovane, bella e scomparsa misteriosamente. Una ragazza sola. O almeno questo è ciò che crede il suo rapitore. Ma si sbaglia di grosso: la ragazza è la cugina di Louis, l'ombra di Parker, il suo braccio destro. Più l'indagine si avvicina alla verità e più i due amici scoprono che la pista che stanno seguendo è lastricata di ossa, pergamene e antichi miti biblici. La loro ricerca li porta a spaziare dagli squallidi vicoli newyorchesi, a un'antica abbazia della Boemia che conserva le tracce di un sanguinoso massacro medievale, e infine in Francia, nei luoghi che furono teatro di altri drammatici eventi accaduti nel corso dellà Seconda guerra mondiale. La chiave del mistero sembra celata nei frammenti di una vecchia pergamena che parla di una statua d'argento: l'Angelo nero, l'angelo ribelle bandito da Dio e caduto sulla Terra, un simbolo misterioso e fortemente ricercato anche della setta dei Credenti. Chi sono? Sembrano spietati e pronti a tutto pur di ritrovarlo. Agiscono nell'ombra, seminando morte e orrore: angeli caduti che non trovano pace. Il mito diventa realtà.
