Beast

By Nick Blackstock

Between 1764 and 1767 the appearance of a man eating wolf created panic amongst the local people of the French Province of Gevaudan. Despite the efforts of the best hunters in Europe, at times supported by virtual armies of up to 25,000 men, the animal continued its slaughter, killing more than a hundred people. Beast' is based on this fascinating story and in this compelling and gripping historical thriller we enter the world of 18th century France and the lives of those struggling to find a way to rid themselves of this powerful and frightening force.'
