There was a traitor in their midst: Someone had leaked a list of the SS to the British press. The head of the Gestapo called me into his office. Panelled oak walls, a grand piano in the corner, rugs lining the floor—the place where he ordered executions every day.

Publisher's summary
Berlin/Paris, 1937. The Ritter family prepares for the coming storm.
The Ritter family is fractured. Maureen, Michael, and his new wife, Monika, are in exile in the city of Paris. Seamus, Lisa, and the other children remain in Berlin, where 15-year-old Fiona is falling further under the spell of Nazi propaganda. Under constant pressure to inform on her parents and impress her peers, she will soon be faced with a stark choice on which direction her life is going to take.
Business is booming in the factory. The Nazi regime’s insatiable appetite for armaments has created a new gold rush in Germany, and Seamus has become a member of Germany’s new elite class of munitions kings. But unlike the other fat cats he fraternizes with, Seamus has a dual mission—to report back to his contact in the US embassy on the Nazi weapons build-up and to find a way to extricate his Jewish workers from a country growing more perilous for them by the day.
Maureen’s work against the Nazis continues in Paris. And together with another resistance fighter, she hatches a scheme that could topple Hitler and his Nazi government forever. When Lisa recruits a face from her past to aid their plan, it appears they might succeed. But Paris isn’t as safe as it seems, and when the Gestapo strike, Seamus, Michael, and Monika will have to join forces in a race against time to save not only Maureen’s life, but the very future of Germany.
The Coming Storm is the fifth novel in a new series by the Amazon best-selling author of White Rose, Black Forest, and The Longest Echo, set in Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s.

When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, approximately 160,000 Jews called Berlin home. By 1943 less than 5,000 remained in the nation's capital, the epicenter of Nazism, and by the end of the war, that number had dwindled to 1,000. All the others had died in air raids, starved to death, committed suicide, or been shipped off to the death camps. In this captivating and harrowing book, Leonard Gross details the real-life stories of a dozen Jewish men and women who spent the final 27 months of World War II underground, hiding in plain sight.

Story
In the summer of 1942, as war rages across Europe, a series of anonymous leaflets appears around the University of Munich, speaking out against escalating Nazi atrocities. The leaflets are hidden in public places, or mailed to addresses selected at random from the phone book. Natalya Petrovich, a student, knows who is behind the leaflets - a secret group called the White Rose, led by siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl and their friends. As a volunteer nurse on the Russian front, Natalya witnessed the horrors of war first-hand. She willingly enters the White Rose's circle....

Story
By 1939, Anglo-American journalist John Russell has spent over a decade in Berlin, where his son lives with his mother. He writes human-interest pieces for British and American papers, avoiding the investigative journalism that could get him deported. But as World War II approaches, he faces having to leave his son as well as his girlfriend of several years, a beautiful German starlet. When an acquaintance from his old communist days approaches him to do some work for the Soviets, Russell is reluctant, but he is unable to resist the offer.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it’s a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

Story
The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man.

Riveting and compelling, The Wall tells the inspiring story of 40 men and women who escape the dehumanizing horror of the Warsaw ghetto. John Hersey's novel documents the Warsaw ghetto both as an emblem of Nazi persecution and as a personal confrontation with torture, starvation, humiliation, and cruelty - a gripping and visceral story, impossible to pause.

There, pretending to be an exchange student, he falls in love with a social worker and settles into the routines of small-town life.

Story
From the best-selling author of the Sandman Slim series, a lush, dark, stand-alone fantasy built off the insurgent tradition of China Mieville and M. John Harrison - a subversive tale that immerses us in a world where the extremes of bleakness and beauty exist together in dangerous harmony in a city on the edge of civility and chaos. The Great War is over. The city of Lower Proszawa celebrates the peace with a decadence and carefree spirit as intense as the war’s horrifying despair.
