An ex-police officer recruited to take part in a secret program to replace Batman is now Gotham's new Avenging Angel. Armed with glowing swords and wearing a cursed suit of armor called the "suit of sorrows," he enacts brutal justice.
In this volume, members of religious cults are being murdered in grotesque reenactments of the martyrdom of Christian saints. Each victim holds part of a centuries-old secret that, once revealed, will alter the course of human history.
