The first ten issues of the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning series is collected in hardcover for the first time! Written by Ed Brubaker ("Captain America") and Greg Rucka ("Detective Comics, 52"), this series pitted the detectives of Gotham City's Special Crimes Unit against the city's greatest villains - in the shadow of Batman himself.

In the second story-the acclaimed, award-winning "Half a Life"-Detective Renee Montoya is outed as a lesbian and finds her work environment and personal life turned upside down. Things only become more complicated when she's kidnapped by Two-Face. This debut volume features an introduction by acclaimed mystery author Lawrence Block.

Cops just don't have it easy in the city of the bat. Not only do they have to deal with the violence and corruption of the world's most notoriously crime-infested city, catering to some of the most insane and homicidal criminals, but they also have to deal with a vigilante who's hellbent on playing by his own rules.
And to make things worse, the Joker is terrorizing the city at Christmastime--randomly executing people with a rifle, and no one from the Mayor on down is safe! Plus, more stories involving the girl whose job it is to turn on the Bat-signal, a series of gruesome murders that grab the attention of The Huntress, and an old case of unfinished business for disgraced detective Harvey Bullock.
Collects issues 11-22 of the original series
