==Plot==
The plot revolves around three main characters: Richard, an eminent plastic surgeon who keeps a mysterious woman thought to be his mistress, Eve, locked up in his mansion while subjecting her to extreme physical and emotional humiliation and degradation; Alex, a petty thief desperate to have his face altered after shooting a police officer; and Vincent, a young art student kidnapped by a mysterious figure he eventually calls "Mygale". After Alex kidnaps Eve in an attempt to blackmail Richard into performing the surgery, the horrors of how far one man has gone in search of revenge comes to light...
This cover has a blurb from a review from ''The Washington Post'', calling the book, "An unholy collaboration between Sade and Sartre, with occasional comic interventions by that honorary Frenchman Jerry Lewis."
