I am proud to announce that my fourth novel, The Double Man, from Barnes & Noble Publishers, is now available on Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com.

Some identities are inherited. Others are chosen. Gerhard Keller is a young German soldier trapped inside the collapse of Nazi Germany. Then, on a battlefield near Kassel, he sees a dead American soldier who resembles him. The man has a name, Gary Hogan, a uniform, papers, and a place on the winning side. In one desperate moment, Gerhard understands that survival may depend on becoming somebody else.

If you take another man’s name to save your life, where does that leave the person you were before?

Gerhard does not treat the change as a clever disguise. It troubles him almost immediately. He thinks about guilt, morality, repentance, and whether changing a name can also change a destiny.

The borrowed name saves him from one danger while creating another. The novel makes reinvention feel physical. It becomes a test of whether a man can escape history without also escaping himself.
