Publisher’s description

The Riddler tries to shake his obsession with riddle-related crimes and joins the operation of a powerful Gotham City crime boss. But Edward Nigma's "addiction" may prove to be too much to resist. Plus, Killer Croc is hounded through the Louisiana bayou by angry townspeople, and the origin of Mr. Zsasz is revealed.
