I have very little to go on here so I apologize. I'm looking for a mystery novel where a man goes to sleep and wakes up as a college professor. He goes to sleep again and repeats the same process getting to relive his "life" repeatedly in an effort to "get it right." No idea what the mystery component is. This is NOT a new book.

The character, Harry, is a professor of science. He doesn't go to sleep, he dies and is reborn to live his life again. There is also a mystery involved.

Sara, please read the group pointers/rules at the top of the group page - which explain what to put in your header.

We also need to know when you read the book.
