City of Masks is a swashbuckling adventure in a setting reminiscent of Shakespeare's Italy (complete with twins).
In the city-state of Bonvidaeo, by custom and law everyone must wear a mask and act in character with it, or face civil, social and religious penalties.
Gregorius Bass is sent to Bonvidaeo as the Envoy of Calaria, primarily to get him out from underfoot. Masked as the Innocent Man, and in the company of his radical young Bonvidaoan servant, Bass stumbles into mystery, intrigue, heresy and murder.

Thanks, Chris. By the way, folks, I don't know if there's a lot I can do about the sound at this point - it sounds OK when I listen to it through headphones rather than speakers, if that's any use to you. If I figure it out in the future ...

Reeves-McMillan absolutely nails the elevated Gothic style of this novel. It’s told as succession of journal entries, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There’s even a one-act play embedded as a found narrative. The author’s command of language is fantastic, so the loquacious eighteenth-century narration is still appealing to a modern reader. ...
