Par šo e-grāmatu
1940: The people of Dover, England, wait for the Nazi invasion. But what if Hitler’s agents are already among them? “A true master of his craft.” —Craig Russell, author of The Devil Aspect
Canadian journalist Jessica Marshall is reporting from Dover, a town on the brink of a German attack. But her stories never make it into print . . .
Meanwhile, Louis Renard, an intelligent, damaged man and onetime Scotland Yard detective, is recuperating from wounds received at Dunkirk and is working in Dover’s barely functioning police station.
When a dancer is found murdered in a secret underground bunker, Renard refuses to turn a blind eye, and Marshall smells a scoop. As the mystery deepens, Renard begins to dig deeper into the murdered woman’s background, while Marshall is lured further into a dangerous scheme, just as the threat from the looming invasion gets closer . . .
When the Germans Come is a gripping thriller and an examination of the state of wartime England, when Hitler’s forces gathered across the Channel and threatened the country’s very existence.
Praise for David Hewson
“[A] character-rich, history-drenched reading experience.” —Booklist
“Hewson educates and entertains in equal measure.” —Publishers Weekly
“Vivid and compelling. At once a richly wrought thriller, a love story and a warning that spans decades. I was thinking about this book for days after I’d closed it.” —Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
