What does Cain, history’s most notorious villain, have to do with Superman, the world’s greatest hero?
In the book of Genesis in the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world’s first—and arguably most famous—murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. That weapon is still lost to history.
In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world’s greatest hero: Superman. But like Cain’s murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found.
Until now.
Today, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Cal Harper is pulled into an age-old conspiracy when his long-lost father is shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel’s 1932 murder. But before Cal can act, a man bearing the mark of Cain emerges from the shadows with murder on his mind. But what do two killings, committed thousands of years apart, have in common? The chase to find out—and retrieve history’s most elusive artifact—begins in The Book of Lies. A powerhouse thriller from the bestselling author of The Book of Fate, this is Brad Meltzer’s most gripping novel to date.
