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.
