A Noose Without a Hangman

Manhattan has always seemed to be a city flooded in chaos; crime running rampant across the streets as a shadowy figure races over its rugged edges. Anyone can put on a mask, but actually becoming a hero is a different story. Before there was `The Mysterious Nightshade,' there was another... In a time where heroes don't exist, Manhattan is out of control and no one dares to fight back against the impending collapse into madness. No one, that is, but Rose Revel. A man who feels he has been wronged at every turn, Rose takes it upon himself to desperately hold back the darkness threatening the city. But what does justice truly mean in a city full of deceit? Determined to find the answer, Rose Revel must not only learn what it takes to control Manhattan's criminals, but Manhattan herself in a dark tale of both love and horror.
