But when she tracks down its whereabouts, it leads her to a mysterious auction in Venice being held by a dangerous secret society and attended by a fellow Gothamite, mafioso Carmine Falcone! Will Catwoman successfully steal a piece of her history, or has the feline fatale finally bitten off more than she can chew?
