When the Germans Come

1940: Dover waits for the Nazi invasion… but what if Hitler's agents are already here, among them?

Canadian journalist Jessica Marshall is reporting from Dover as the town is on the brink of a German invasion. But her story never makes it into the paper…

Meanwhile, Louis Renard, an intelligent, damaged man and onetime Scotland Yard murder detective, is recuperating from wounds received in the Dunkirk invasion, 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 Jessica smells a scoop.

As the mystery deepens, Renard begins to dig deeper into the background of the murdered woman, while Jessica Marshall is lured further into a dangerous scheme, just as the threat from the looming invasion gets closer…

When the Germans Come is a thriller about the murky and frightening dark heart of wartime Britain we rarely see.

A Dark Edge of Your Seat Thriller

Dover is preparing for war and the residents are on edge. People are wondering if there are German spies about and who they could be. While people are trying to prepare of the inevitable, a murder in a bunker puts everyone on high alert. This dark thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until the suspenseful end. David Hewson is one of my favorite authors.

Brilliant…..

David Hewson at his best. I do hope it is the start of another series
