We Read The Pattern Like A Mirror, Backward

Monarch is dead. But Paris is far from safe.

​A new threat, a shadowy figure calling themselves Kunlun Glass, has seized control of the city's criminal underworld. Having been tasked with cracking the three-year-old case, Damian Wayne, the son of the World's Greatest Detective, doesn't realize that he is looking for a single reflection when he should be looking at a shattered mirror of many faces.

To catch a cabal that hides in plain sight, he must remember the oldest rule of the puzzle: Read the pattern like a mirror, backward.

But he's distracted by a cold case of his own. ​The disappearance of his childhood friend, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Marinette vanished without a trace, leaving behind a puzzle that defies all logic. And every answer Damian uncovers only serves to rewrite the question.

How does a normal girl vanish completely? Why does every lead point to the dictatorial Mayor, Noe Luxus? And what is the meaning of the bright red light haunting Damian's dreams?

​To find the truth, Damian will have to look beyond the shadows of Paris even as he prepares to take his own first steps into adulthood.
