Summary
The turning of the year 1999 into 2000 was supposed to shepherd in dramatic change, whether it be culturally or personally, the osmosis inherent as the century ended and a new one began. Then, in late April, a series of explosions rocked downtown Gotham, killing the adopted son of billionaire Bruce Wayne.
A week afterwards, a vigilante hero that had only previously been seen in glimpses around Blüdhaven, was spotted racing across rooftops in Gotham's uppermost island.
Four months later, as the late August heat swept across the city, the beloved daughter of Gotham's mayor washed up on the western beach along Gotham River, covered in only a clear sheet of plastic.
A week after the girl's murder, a detective from New York arrived in Gotham to investigate.

Summary
Delilah Morgan is a forensic pathologist working for the DPGC, beginning the autopsy of the latest victim of the serial killer known as the Reaper, the man who has been terrorizing Gotham city, when she is attacked by him.
It was that night that she encountered true fear ── death itself and its faithful companion ── and survived to tell the tale. Now, she recognized the rot of humanity, as broken as she was, and in a way, identified with it. There was a rooted evil there, rooted in her, something that cried out for justice and needed freedom as much as their corrupted souls could bear, yet something blocked her mind.
In the quest to uncover the true identity of the Reaper and put an end to the series of extended murders, Morgan finds an unlikely ally in billionaire Bruce Wayne. Both are obsessed with the case, both are willing to do anything to reach the end of the investigation, and both would risk everything they had for it.
And that's what brought them together.

Summary
In 1980s New York, the headlines change faster than the subway lights.
You're a rookie journalist chasing a story that no one else believes - tall tales of a masked man in electric blue leaping from rooftops, showing up at crime scenes before the cops, disappearing like smoke.
But when a chance encounter turns into an off-the-record interview, you're pulled into something bigger than just a scoop.
Because Nightwing isn’t just a rumour. He’s real. And he’s not the Boy Wonder anymore.

Summary
Lily Hallowell has one rule: never get personally involved. Not with criminals. Not with heroes. Definitely not with emotionally repressed vigilantes in spandex.
Too bad Gotham doesn’t care about her rules.
With a magic curse that makes her feel lies like a bad allergic reaction, Lily’s been trying to lay low under the name Truthseer—until the underworld wants to use her, the Court of Owls wants to erase her, and the Bats want to figure out what the hell her deal is.
Enter: Nightwing. Charming. Acrobatic. Way too good at making her forget she’s supposed to be keeping her distance.
Now Lily’s stuck navigating criminal allegations, morally grey alliances, and the minor inconvenience of learning how to trust people without puking. Literally.
She never asked to be part of Gotham’s most chaotic found family.
(It's exactly where she belongs.)

Summary
You left private-sector compliance for a federal audit position, thinking it would be safer, less politics, and more protocol. You were wrong.
Your assignment: assess Agent Leon S. Kennedy’s. Evaluate risk. Flag anomalies. Easy enough. Until the man you’ve been shadowing forgets something he should know. Until another version of him passes you in the hallway without recognition.
Two Leons. One file. And you, caught in the space between them, where nothing adds up and the tension cuts deeper than it should.
And the closer you get to the truth, the harder it becomes to pull away.
(ON HOLD FOR UNDER OBSERVATION SERIES)
