Beneath a Scarlet Sky, the USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller, is based on the true story of a forgotten hero and tells the epic, triumphant account of one young man’s extraordinary bravery and tenacity during one of the darkest periods in history.

Pino Lella is opposed to both the Nazis and the war. He is a typical Italian adolescent who is infatuated with food, music, and girls, but his youth is coming to an end.

Following the destruction of his family’s Milan house by Allied bombers, Pino enlists in an underground railroad that aids Jews in escaping over the Alps and develops feelings for Anna, a stunning widow who is six years his senior.

Pino’s parents try to keep him safe by forcing him to join the German military, which they believe will keep him out of danger.

However, following his injury, Pino is enlisted at the young age of eighteen to serve as the personal chauffeur for General Hans Leyers, one of the most enigmatic and influential leaders of the Third Reich, who was Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy.
