And at any cost.

In a world not far removed from our own, a city lies ravaged. Crime overruns its streets, its citizens are helpless. Crime-lord Robert Latham, to the world at large a legitimate businessman, holds the city in his sway. Fear and intimidation rule throughout. One man stands above the rest, willing to fight for freedom. That man is The Wraith. The Wraith, the city's bogeyman, is known to exist only by a very few, and seen by even fewer. Those that do know of him, especially Latham, know to fear him, for his fury at those who commit evil knows no bounds. By day, The Wraith is the reclusive millionaire Paul Sanderson, a man more mysterious and less seen than his night-time counterpart. Sensing the desperation of Latham and that his own time may be limited, Sanderson readies a replacement--Michael Reeve, an honest cop drawn inexorably into a world he may not be ready for. Can the new Wraith save his city even while he struggles to save his own soul?

This is the never-before-told origin story of The Wraith's arch-nemesis, the Cobra. Who he is, how he came to be, and how his and the original Paul Sanderson's lives intertwined at key moments, causing them to become deadly adversaries. It's all here--action, horror, thrills and gut-wrenching heroism.
