It's one of the first lessons you learn in poker, and you usually learn it the hard way: Play poker with a liar, and you can lose your money, your house and even your heart. And in a town where justice is a game, blind Matt Murdock is about to learn that lesson all too well. Welcome to the cycle of violence, Daredevil. It was here before you were born into this dirty city, and it'll be here after you're six feet under. And in the Great Depression - which has Manhattan and Hell's Kitchen in its grip - you've got your part to play in it. And that part means going through the Kingpin! Collecting DAREDEVIL NOIR #1-4. Back BlurbWelcome to Hell's Kitchen --- where justice is not blind, and heroes are hard to find. The Bull's Eye Killer is on the loose. Bodies are found gutted from head to toe, or riddled with the pockmarks of final, serrated justice. Once the bullseye was placed on their foreheads, the victims never had a chance. Just who is the killer, and for whom does the assassin mark their targets? That's something only the dead truly know. As for Matt Murdock. the assistant to private investigator Foggy Nelson is trapped in a vortex from which he can't escape. Survivor of an inner-city orphanage, blinded by childhood tragedy, Murdock uses every day as a chance to hone his remaining sense into something he can use to understand a world of despair around him. And on a day is which the mobster Orville Halloran is making his move to take the top role in New York City's underworld, the mysterious Eliza enters Murdock's office with a hint that maybe she holds the secrets to bringing Halloran down for the count. But Eliza --- who has captured Matt's attention, as well as his heart --- also has secrets of her own. And presiding over it all --- seemingly above the fray --- is Wilson Fisk, the formidable Kingpin of Crime. In Depression-era Manhattan, that's a lifetime position --- and one you hold onto for dear life. In a time when justice is a game for the weak, Matt Murdock finds himself caught in the middle of a gang war that is always inches away from taking innocent lives. It's a time to finally turn loose the battling spirit given him by his late father. It's a time for blind justice to finally be let loose in Hell's Kitchen. It's a time for Daredevil!
