Robin and the Shadow fight for their lives, while the actions of the Seven leave Batman unsure if he can trust anyone in his life, including himself.

Or exactly what the Seven has wanted all along?
"From the incredible minds of iconic authors Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando comes the resurgence of a classic noir character.

While investigating the murde of a Gothamite, Batman identifies his prime suspect as Lamont Cranston... but there are two problems with that. One, Batman is not aware Lamont's alter ego is the master detective known as the Shadow. Two, and more importantly, Cranston seems to have died over half a century ago!"--
