For over 80 years, the Crimson Wraith has fought crime in Titan City, defending the defenseless against such villains as the Blue Banshee, Queen Cleopatra, the Shadowmaster, Dr. Oblivion, and the Troubadour. But when a murder hits too close to home, he faces a case that he won’t be able to solve on his own.
Meet Gracie Chapel, a 23-year-old former teenage runaway who has survived the streets of Titan City relying on her wits and fists to handle whatever trouble might come her way. She never expected a masked vigilante to emerge from a cloud of smoke and rescue her, much less to need her help in return. Together, they will dig through a mystery with roots going back decades.
This complete edition includes all four parts of The Crimson Wraith: Legacy of the Hood previously released as ebook novellas.

Who murdered Edward Finn, Crimson Wraith of the 1960s? It seems as though another former Crimson Wraith may know the answer, and it is up to Gracie to help her mentor, the current Crimson Wraith, to find it.
Drawing near the resolution of this mystery brings Gracie and the Crimson Wraith closer to tragic aspects of the masked vigilante of Titan City’s past--heartbreak, betrayal, scandal, and one of the Crimson Wraith’s villains in particular, the Troubadour.
