Léo Chassagny never really liked this lost village in Lozère.
During his childhood he spent all his holidays there. However, he will have to return there.
His publisher asks him for a book on the history of the Beast of Gévaudan and his son asks him for a vacation there.
As soon as they arrive, children are attacked and killed by a mysterious animal while wolves are heard at nightfall. Despite the hunts and the death of several wolves, the list of victims continues to grow and fear takes hold of the village.
Who will be able to stop what the media do not hesitate to call "the new Beast of Gévaudan"?

Jean-Marc Gibertwas born in Marseille. He was a professor of economics for a long time. He is a guitarist and participates in many world music groups. He is also passionate about writing and has published an ethno-sociology work on the Beast of Gévaudan. He writes short stories and, more recently, novels.
My opinion on the presented edition:
A novel that rekindles the fear of the Beast of Gévaudan in our time.
Children and adults are killed in horrible ways.
We find almost the same characters, Léo Chassagny, as an investigator, a little in spite of himself who draws parallels between the facts of the time and those of today, the priest, who takes himself a little for the bishop of Mende, Gabriel-Florent de Choiseul-Beaupré, some villagers who stir up hatred. Of course, a count who seems "dubious", but also other characters on whom we find ourselves "thinking"...
A short novel that is easy to read, but keeps you in suspense until the end.
