1764 : Death was prowling in Gévaudan. The largest hunt ever was organized to find an enemy who was perhaps nothing other than an ordinary animal. The King’s dragoons scoured the countryside in search of clues and eyewitnesses, but for three long years, Man and the gods faced failure and affronts. The number of dead grew to over one hundred, mainly women and children. The first serial killer in history flouted the King’s authority.
