1940: The people of Dover, England, wait for the Nazi invasion. But what if HitlerтАЩs agents are already among them? тАЬA true master of his craft.тАЭ тАФCraig 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┬а.┬а.┬а.
Meanwhile, Louis Renard, an intelligent, damaged man and onetime Scotland Yard detective, is recuperating from wounds received at Dunkirk and is working in DoverтАЩs 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 womanтАЩs background, while Marshall is lured further into a dangerous scheme, just as the threat from the looming invasion gets closer┬а.┬а.┬а.
When the Germans Come is a gripping thriller and an examination of the state of wartime England, when HitlerтАЩs forces gathered across the Channel and threatened the countryтАЩs very existence.
