From Brian Azzarello, creator and writer of the multiple award-winning 100 Bullets, and Lee Bermejo, artist of Superman/Gen 13, comes a tense tale of espionage, double-dealing... and death! When Scott Floyd, a friend of Bruce Wayne's, is badly burned in a Gotham City restaurant, Batman investigates and soon finds himself drawn into a decade-old conspiracy. Who is the mysterious firestarter, Max Kai? Why are both the CIA and International Operations after him? And what is the connection between Scott Floyd and the mysterious assassin known as Deathblow? Batman's going to discover that in the shadow-world of international espionage, nothing is what it seems... and one man's relentless quest for justice is merely a part of a bigger picture.
