  August into Winter

  A Novel

  Guy Vanderhaeghe

  Vanderhaeghe is back with a new historical novel, his first in 10 years, and it is worth the wait. Set at the beginning of the Second World War, the story opens with a casual and violent murder and what could be considered an abduction, if the girl wasn’t so willing to go along. A wild ride ensues as Corporal Cooper and two brothers, Jack and Dill, track down Ernie Sickert.
