Basso the Magnificent. Basso the Great. Basso the Wise. The First Citizen of the Vesani Republic is an extraordinary man. He is ruthless, cunning, and above all, lucky. He brings wealth, power and prestige to his people. But with power comes unwanted attention, and Basso must defend his nation and himself from threats foreign and domestic. In a lifetime of crucial decisions, he's only ever made one mistake.One mistake, though, can be enough.

Mmm, misogyny. Part of it is just the way the main character is, but I've read a KJ Parker book after this and am inclined to think part of it's unconscious from the author.

I do like a book with economy and logistics taking more of a focus over action, and this gave me the itch to get back to Masquerade series and finish it, so thanks for that.
