David Caldo

The public’s appetite for adventures set in the distant past is insatiable, and in Florentine Masque, David Caldo offers aficionados of this genre a gargantuan feast.

Set in the 14th Century, in and around Florence, the novel traces the adventures of the young brother and sister, Alessandro and Felicia Gerfalco, who survived the plague in Florence, only to find that their parents have been murdered. Like any good Italian, Alessandro pledges to avenge this massacre, and eight years later he finds his first clue as to the murderer’s identity. The quest to mete out revenge brings him and his sister face to face with some of the most sinister characters trying to profit from Florence’s nascent banking boom - it even leads them to skulduggery in the Vatican itself.
