This story is continued from Batman #437 and continues in Batman #439.

Synopsis:
Batman confronts the city's mob bosses in an attempt to gain their cooperation in finding the assassin targeting them. He fends off their initial attack, then makes a deal with them. With information supplied by the bosses and the help of an informant, Batman traces the killings to Anthony Zucco, who is being released from prison.

Elsewhere, Nightwing uses detective work and analysis to draw the same conclusion as Batman. Both arrive at the prison just as Zucco is being released. The moment Zucco steps outside the walls, a helicopter appears in the sky and guns him down.
