Synopsis:
Jason Todd receives information indicating that his biological mother is currently residing in the Middle East. Against the advice of Batman, Jason departs to search for his mother. But little does he know that he is being set up by the Joker! Can Batman reach Jason in time to protect him from the cruel fate that awaits him?
Notes:

Trivia:
-One of the newspapers in Gotham City is the Gotham Post.
-This issue establishes Jason Todd's middle name as Peter.
-One of the personal effects Jason finds is a deed for an acre of land in Virginia.

"Crime hasn't been all that good to me of late. I've been spending more time in Arkham Asylum than out." -Joker
