The Summer of ’39

In the tense lead-up to the Second World War, Britain faces a covert war on multiple fronts. The IRA is carrying out a mainland bombing campaign, while German agents quietly gather intelligence to support Hitler’s plans. In the midst of this chaos, investigative journalist Roger Martin uncovers a disturbing connection between Irish nationalists and the Nazi regime. With help from two teenage boys and Scotland Yard’s Special Branch, Roger races to expose two secret plots that could derail Britain’s defence efforts. But the threats don’t stop there. When the Gestapo begin blackmailing a Jewish refugee working inside the Foreign Office, Roger embarks on a desperate mission to save her family from Nazi-controlled Berlin. The Summer of ’39 blends spy thriller, historical drama, and tender coming-of-age moments in a vivid portrayal of courage and conflict at the edge of war.
