Product Description:
Batman must face his own greatest fears when the man behind the mask, Bruce Wayne, begins to have nightmares about his boyhood schoolmaster, the cruel Mr. Winchester. Now Winchester has come to Gotham City, this time with supernatural powers. And unless the Caped Crusader can stop him, he will convert the city into his own cathedral--of death.

A collection from early on in the Legends of the Dark Knight series.
A bunch of mob bosses realise someone is murdering them one by one. The person who is doing it is someone they killed 20 years before. Calling Batman for help, he basically says sit on it and rotate, until he realises who the killer is, and it gets personal.
It also gets a bit horror movie.
3.5 out of 5

Well, like I said, this is an early tale, so no familiar villain here. It starts out reminding me of Year 2/MOTP as mobster ... Read More

And long live Grant Morrisson....Although this is not his best- there's something old fashioned about this story , a detective story which takes the hero to an exotic location...Nice and old school
