It was supposed to be about making money and helping people. No one was supposed to get hurt. Yet, the Calicos’ last job still haunts Selina Kyle. Catwoman has worked hard to become a successful thief. Retirement in her palatial new home in Sicily is within her grasp. But the Copycats have Holly Robinson in their clutches. And with the Yarn, they have the power to reshape Selina’s world.
