Unknown: A Novel

"A convincing little nightmare. A Twilight Zone-ish yarn that tests the very notion of how human identity is shaped." -Entertainment Weekly "Simply thrilling. Its surprising denoument works a retrospective magic." -The New York Times Book Review "Compelling … The terse prose is unpretentious and the plot is full of captivating twists." -San Francisco Chronicle "An engaging intellectual page-turner." -Rain Taxi "Had Camus trained at the CIA, this is the book he would have written. A hauntingly literary espionage thriller." -Brad Thor, author of State of the Union "Van Cauwelaert starts with a premise that could serve a Hitchcock thriller, a Twilight Zone episode, or a heavy-going exercise in existentialism. But [he] nimbly sidesteps clichT and pretense…. The swift final scene-a breathtaking jetT-should surprise even the most jaded fan of thrillers. A little gem." -Kirkus Reviews
