Story arcs

"Elegy" (#854-857)

"Go" (#858-860)

"Cutter" (#861-863)

"Pipeline" (#854- )

Montoya takes the case of a missing illegal immigrant — the young sister of the man named Hector Soliz seeking her detective services. She follows some leads to their hideout and discovers pornographic pictures of the girl, indicating she may have become involved in a child pornography or sexual slavery ring.[1] While investigating a businessman who she believes is involved with the slavery, Montoya is kidnapped and left to die after being tied up in the trunk of a car that was driven into a river. She easily escapes and eventually tracks the slaves to a boat owned by the businessman. After a brief fight with several henchmen, the police arrive and rescue the women, reuniting Hector with his sister.

Collected editions

Detective Comics #854-860 (minus the Question back-up story) are collected in the trade paperback Batwoman: Elegy (ISBN 978-1401226923).
