«La bestia y la bella» is the crime novel by Thierry Jonquet, published by Júcar in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
The novel interweaves two threads: a plastic surgeon marked by the rape of his daughter and a police commissioner who must find out what a refrigerator holds in a macabre setting. A professor who crosses the line between sanity and madness and a nearly complicit witness complete a plot about barbarity disguised behind civilization.
The Spanish edition appeared in 1987 in Júcar's Etiqueta Negra collection (no. 33). The original French title is «La Bête et la belle», published in 1985; the translation is by Lourdes Pérez González.
For readers of crime and detective fiction, especially those interested in the tradition of Gallimard's Série Noire.
