1936. Europe is rapidly plunging towards the tragedy of war and fascist Italy is at a crossroads, torn between Hitler's Germany and the block of democratic countries led by England.
Anything can still happen. The secret services of the various nations are at work, and their field of action is also extended to motor racing.
Ugo Quiresi, press agent for the Scuderia Ferrari, finds himself embroiled in the clash between Canaris's Abwehr and the British MI6, which, under the pressure of Churchill, not yet prime minister, is trying to dissuade Italy from forming a lethal alliance with the Third Reich.
For obscure reasons, in fact, the rivalry between Ferrari's Alfa Romeos and the Auto Unions financed directly by the Nazi regime now represents something more than a normal sporting challenge. It is perhaps the last chance to change the course of history.
Amidst beautiful and fatal women, crazy races and legendary driving aces like Nuvolari, Varzi, Stuck and Rosemeyer, Luca Dal Monte creates a compelling fictional plot, a spy story in which the fascinating world of speed and the white telephone atmosphere of the 1930s come to life.
