ABOUT THIS BOOK
There's a new Catwoman in town--a feline adventuress unlike any you've seen before. Discover all her sizzling secrets as she cracks her whip and sinks her claws into her most petrifying, death-defying adventure yet.
Patience Philips is a shrinking violet, not exactly a career booster at competitive Hedare Beauty, the huge cosmetics corporation where she's a graphic designer. Self-conscious and easily unnerved, she hasn't a chance of escaping detection after she uncovers a dirty little secret in Hedare's top-secret research laboratory. Discovery means death, but the real shocker is what happens afterward.
In the blink of a cat's eye, the meek designer is gone, replaced--through an ancient twist of fate--by a sleek, self-assured woman with dark, dazzling powers: Catwoman. She has scores to settle, rooftops to roam, and a sinister underworld to prowl, as she stalks her destiny like a feral feline. She also has a good-looking detective on her trail, someone who has fallen for Patience, but is drawn to Catwoman.
As two mighty forces gear up for the ultimate showdown, the fur will fly....
