«Monsieur de Lyon» is the mystery novel by Nicole Avril, published by J'ai Lu in paperback (249 pages, in French).
In 1756, a handsome stranger applies in Lyon for the post of executioner and the authorities accept, as his predecessors have died violently or mysteriously. Camille Laubreçay executes with elegant gestures and unsettles the ladies; no one knows where he comes from or why he insists on speaking alone with each condemned man before the ordeal.
The cover bears the subtitle «Roman»; the work was originally published in 1979.
For readers of period French fiction who enjoy mystery surrounding the figure of the executioner.
Nicole Avril is a French academic, actress, model, and writer.
