The gates to Hell are open and something beckons.... The last of Earth's magicians are living in fear. A Cenobite Hell Priest known as Pinhead is killing them off, gorging on their knowledge to enhance his own magical powers as part of a quest to takeover Hell. Meanwhile, Private Investigator Harry D'Amour is fulfilling the final wishes of the dead, who communicate with his business associate, the blind medium Norma Paine. But while investigating one such case, Harry inadvertently opens up a rift between hell and the real world. When nemesis Pinhead emerges through the portal, a vicious battle ensues. After failing to recruit Harry to write his Scarlet Gospels, which will chronicle his takeover of Hell, Pinhead captures Norma to force Harry's hand and Harry must go through hell — literally — to save her.

In this long-awaited, epic horror novel, Clive Barker brings together two of his iconic characters — the long-beleaguered occult detective Harry D'Amour, and Pinhead — in a tale set on Earth and in Hell. In the author’s own words, it is “a HORROR NOVEL with the graphic violence and perverse eroticism of the most intense tales from the Books of Blood.”
