The Black Angel by John Connolly

The Black Angel: A Thriller (Charlie Parker Mysteries) -  All of Connolly's stories have a supernatural element, but The Black Angel is about the supernatural.  The Book of Enoch relates the story of the fallen angels.  Currently, one of the angels is looking for the parts of a map that indicates the hiding place of a statue, The Black Angel, that supposedly holds his twin captive. Meanwhile, Louis' cousin, a prostitute, has disappeared and her mother blames Louis because he promised to watch out for her.  Parker helps Louis investigate her disappearance and they find themselves entwined in the angel's hunt and the history of the French monastery, Sedlec.
