Brad Meltzer--author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Fate--returns with his most thrilling and emotionally powerful novel to date. In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world's 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. And 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 comes face-to-face with his family's greatest secret: his long-lost father, who's been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel's 1932 murder. But before Cal can ask a single question, he and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the anicent markings of Cain. And so begins the chase for the world's first murder weapon.

What does Cain, history's greatest villain, have to do with Superman, the world's greatest hero? And what do two murders, committed thousands of years apart, have in common? This is the mystery at the heart of Brad Meltzer's riveting and utterly intriguing new thriller

Book review

Loved this book as I said I like how Brad Meltzer draws you into the storyline. By the way did anyone else's book have a corner torn out on pages 151 and 152? Just curious, mine was, but didn't miss too much text.

Surpising page turner!

I purchased this book after hearing an interview with the author on our local radio station. I was skeptical, but the general plot intrigued me. I'm not particularly fond of fiction and mystery type novels are a genera that I have mixed feelings about.

However, I was completely immersed in The Book of Lies from start to finish. Every waking moment I had that wasn't devoted to something else my nose was buried deep in this book. I commend the author for such an amazingly well told story, well developed characters, and a very entertaining ride.

Good Read

This is a good solid book. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be-more of the Bible story- but it was better. I loved the mystery of it and trying to guess what would happen next. I normally don't read a mystery type book but this was a great one for me.
