The Executioner's Heir: A Novel of Eighteenth-Century France

by Susanne Alleyn

Stunning tale of pre-revolutionary Paris

1760s France: Charles Sanson is a pariah; the hangman's son must become one himself, for society's doors are closed to him. "A richly textured, tragic tale that, in the tradition of the best historical novels, brings an era alive through the depiction of human drama." (Publishers Weekly)
