Viņš tika ievainots Otrā pasaules kara laikā un kopš tā laika atrodas komā. Bet nesen viņš pazuda tieši no slimnīcas, un tagad viņš ir jāatrod. Sākumā izmeklēšana šķiet viegla, taču drīz visi šajā lietā iesaistītie sāk mirt, un pats Eņģelis iekrīt slepkavību, tumšu noslēpumu, okultisma, upuru un vudu rituālu virpulī. Harija dzīve pārvēršas asiņainā labirintā, no kura izeja detektīvam izvērtīsies par īstu murgu un novedīs pie sadursmes ar neticamu ļaunumu.
