La Bestia
Premio Planeta 2021
Mola, Carmen
It is the year 1834 and Madrid, a small city that tries to break through the walls that surround it, suffers a terrible cholera epidemic. But the plague is not the only thing that terrifies its inhabitants: in the suburbs there are dismembered corpses of girls that no one claims. All rumors point to the Beast, a being whom no one has seen but whom everyone fears. When little Clara disappears, her sister Lucia, along with Donoso, a one-eyed policeman, and Diego, a go-getter journalist, start a frantic countdown to find the girl alive. On their way they stumble upon Fray Braulio, a guerrilla monk, and with a mysterious gold ring with two crossed maces that everyone covets and for which some are willing to kill.
