Paris, 1792.
Charles-Henri Sanson is the city's executioner, the man Parisians fear and prefer not to look at. Yet, when young Liane de Pougy calls for his help, he can't say no.
A missing gold brooch, a relentless assassin, an executioner on her trail. As the Revolution devours the city, Sanson moves in the shadows between the salons of the Faubourg Saint-Germain and the alleys of a burning Paris, determined to bring justice to Liane.
Then the hunt becomes something unexpected, and more difficult to explain than any crime.

“The Best Years of My Life” attempts to address with biting honesty the true meaning of love and friendship, in a seemingly peaceful rural landscape that is, in reality, corroded by the criminal violence of the Mafia.
This is a story that is grounded in the emotions, reflections, and desires of the protagonists, who present themselves in all their stubborn splendor.
A journey full of twists and turns, surrounded by forbidden loves, vile betrayals, brutal murders and courageous tests of friendship.
Ultimately, it is up to the reader to find the many similarities between the lines with today's world...

"Every character, every personal story, every sensation felt or reaction elicited, every act of cowardice as well as of courage make this novel penetrating."

No reader can remain indifferent to this story of revenge, redemption, and violent trauma. The narrative is captivating and magnetic, emotionally charged at times, as it should be, with equally dark moments, but also many introspective moments that leave brief glimpses of hope and happiness. A text with powerful images that uses powerful and intense words to reconstruct scenes so cold and surgical they send shivers down your spine.
Leonardo Masetti's novel is a beautiful story, expertly crafted and told, encompassing the beauty of family tales with their strong social connections, but also contradictory and almost grotesque characters whose impact is impacted by the events that unfold, outlining a multitude of different souls, each with their own nuances, for better or for worse.

"The Lord of Paris remains a unique, dark, and fascinating read, especially recommended for those who love highly atmospheric historical thrillers deeply rooted in the period in which they are set."
"The writing is elegant and rich in detail, and the characters are immediately intriguing, especially the Chevalier de Longval. The plot of the golden brooch keeps the reader's curiosity alive and connects so many different characters.
Between intrigue, revenge and mystery, the novel describes a city in complete chaos, where no one seems truly innocent."
"With its 291 pages in format
paperback, The Lord of Paris does more than just tell a historical thriller.
The true heart of the book is a reflection on the fragile boundary between justice and revenge in times of great social and political chaos."
- Antonio Romano
