De manera magistral, Carmen Mola teje, con los hilos del mejor thriller, esta novela impactante, frenética e implacable, de infierno y oscuridad.
Corre el año 1834 y Madrid, una pequeña ciudad que trata de abrirse paso más allá de las murallas que la rodean, sufre una terrible epidemia de cólera. Pero la peste no es lo único que aterroriza a sus habitantes: en los arrabales aparecen cadáveres desmembrados de niñas que nadie reclama. Todos los rumores apuntan a la Bestia, un ser a quien nadie ha visto pero al que todos temen.
Cuando la pequeña Clara desaparece, su hermana LucÃa, junto con Donoso, un policÃa tuerto, y Diego, un periodista buscavidas, inician una frenética cuenta atrás para encontrar a la niña con vida. En su camino tropiezan con fray Braulio, un monje guerrillero, y con un misterioso anillo de oro con dos mazas cruzadas que todo el mundo codicia y por el que algunos están dispuestos a matar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Masterfully, Carmen Mola weaves, with the threads of the best thriller, this shocking, frantic, and relentless novel of hell and darkness.
The year is 1834 and Madrid, a small city trying to expand beyond the walls that surround it, is suffering from a terrible cholera epidemic. But the plague is not the only thing terrifying its inhabitants: in the outskirts, dismembered corpses of girls that no one claims are appearing. All rumors point to the Beast, a being no one has seen but everyone fears.
When little Clara disappears, her sister LucÃa, along with Donoso, a one-eyed policeman, and Diego, a hustler journalist, start a frantic countdown to find the girl alive. On their way, they encounter Brother Braulio, a guerrilla monk, and a mysterious gold ring with two crossed maces that everyone covets and for which some are willing to kill.
