Beneath a Scarlet Sky

Mark Sullivan

Mystery

Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders. Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share. Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.

Mystery

"A true juggernaut of a thriller, pure adrenaline in print.  With the creation of Robin Monarch, Sullivan has crafted a Jason Bourne for the new millennium." —James RollinsMark Sullivan has created a propulsive, compelling new thriller. Rogue, is one part Bourne Identity and one part Mission: Impossible, but readers will also love the nod to Hitchcock’s It Takes a Thief. Two years ago, Robin Monarch was a top level CIA operative—perhaps the best they had when it came to black bag operations. Then one day, in the middle of an operation, with his team around him in the field, Monarch walked away, leaving his old life and friends behind without a word of explanation.Now this ex-soldier, ex-operative, and orphan with a murky past is a thief, stealing from the super-rich and has surfaced in St. Tropez. But when a complicated, high profile jewel heist goes wrong, Monarch is led into a carefully woven trap designed to force him to complete the very same mission he walked away from years ago. It will take all of his skills (as well as those of the team he burned) and all of his cunning, if Monarch is to thwart the violent and deadly goals of the very powerful cabal who will do whatever it takes to bring the very dangerous "Green Fields" technology under their control. From BooklistRobin Monarch is the most hunted man in the world. His parents, an American cat burglar and a con man from Argentina, are killed when he is just 13, forcing him to live in the most dangerous slum in Buenos Aires. He joins the Brotherhood of Thieves, learns their 18-rule code of conduct, and survives, with the help of a nun. Eventually, Monarch becomes one of the CIA’s top operatives and is sent on a mission to derail an al-Qaeda plot called “Green Fields.” But when he discovers that Green Fields is something else entirely—and that his superiors are corrupt—he goes rogue, with arms dealers, Russian mobsters, and his own government all on his tail. This lightning-fast read brings to mind Robert Ludlum and Mission Impossible—and will definitely appeal to adrenalin junkies—but beyond the breakneck pacing, it comes up short, both in character development and believability. Sullivan undoubtedly learned pacing and the art of the short chapter as coauthor of James Patterson’s Private Games. --Stacy Alesi Review'Rogue reminded me of the Bourne books and movies, only it's much, much better' James Patterson. 'Diabolical! Filled with twists, turns, crosses, and double-crosses, Sullivan delivers a harrowing international thriller' Lisa Gardner. 'If you see Mark Sullivan, sock him in the eye for me since he owes me a night's sleep. Rogue is an explosive, brilliantly researched, masterfully paced, deftly-plotted debut to a series I'm hopping onto for the long haul. Jason Bourne meets Robin Hood with a dash of Bond thrown in, this thriller will leave you shaken, stirred, and yes - exhausted. I had a blast' Gregg Hurwitz. 'A compelling, page-turning blend of spy and caper fiction ... loaded with intrigue, laced with detail, full of bone-shaking action, Rogue is the fantastic start to an exciting new series' Jeff Abbott. 'A Jason Bourne for the new millennium' James Rollins.
