The Two Lives of Jake

If you read The Egyptian Cat, you'll remember the history professor, Jake, who is now in a loving relationship with Leigh, and the family life they are building with her two young sons. But it isn't his love life that has unpleasantly taken over Jake. It's a Confederate army officer who appears at will and both enters Jake's head and turns him into a soldier who hates war. Jake and Leigh struggle to find out why and how this man has picked Jake for his parallel life, and what is the purpose that Jake must pursue if he's ever going to rid himself of another man.
