Gotham Central: Half a Life, Paperback Book, By: Greg Rucka

In the best tradition of Batman: Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, this second book in Titan's Gotham Central series continues the film noir makeover of the Batman mythology! Detective Renee Montoya, as seen in the ongoing Batman series, has been hiding a secret from her family, her fellow officers and the world at large - her sexuality. But when she is 'outed' by a prominent Gotham City newpaper, she must somehow contend with personal and private upheavals in her life. And when the man responsible for these revelations is found dead, Montoya becomes the prime suspect for his murder - and her fellow officers must clear her name!
