"Pursuit of the Flesh: Part Four[]
After decades of acting as Hell's priestly servant, Pinhead has grown weary. Bored by the tortures of the puzzle box, having solved the mysteries of the flesh, the iconic killer hatches a plan to claw his way free from Hell. But to pursue his salvation as a human being, Pinhead must find a suitable replacement and enact a damnable game of chess with the only victim who'd ever bested the Cenobites: Kirsty Cotton. Pinhead's human servant Samuel Hess has already taken Kirsty's fiancé Edgar. Now Kirsty and the Harrowers are in the city to find Samuel and exact revenge...
