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.
