Person Unknown

Advance Praise for Person Unknown
"In amnesia thrillers, memory-blanked narrators usually wake up in seedy urban hotel rooms. Not in Bruce Kimmel's world. His empty-minded hero finds himself in the garage of an unfamiliar family home in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley. Even more impressive, while keeping the action mainly in this nominally peaceful vicinity, the author is skillful enough to rev up a full amount of propulsive suspense with sinister SUVs, suspiciously kind strangers, unruly kids and fast-food waitresses, sympathetic and snarky. It's a bravura example of a unique kind of mystery, neighborhood noir."
-Dick Lochte, author of The Neon Smile
"With Person Unknown Bruce Kimmel has written a stand-alone that's a mystery in more ways than one - it's not only a whodunnit but a what-the hell's-been-done-in-the-first-place? Written in Kimmel's clean, no frills, style, Person Unknown pulled me in from the opening pages as
his protagonist struggles to answer these questions. The reader is fully immersed in the protagonist's point-of-view. He's a man trying to put a puzzle together without the pieces. Who is he? Who can he trust? The only way to find out is to read it, which I highly recommend you do."
-Bill Fitzhugh, award-winning author of the cult favorite Pest Control etc.
"What would you do if you suddenly woke up and you didn't know who you were, where you were, or what you were doing there? That is the dilemma facing Person Unknown in this fast-moving chess-game of a mystery by Bruce Kimmel - a one-man band of talent. In this wonderfully told story, Person Unknown must be his own detective, but what do you detect if you can't remember anything? As the great detective, Mr. Holmes, might observe - it's a two-pipe problem. So, what are you waiting for? Light up!"
-David Del Valle, noted Hollywood historian and author
