false <![CDATA[The Book of Lies]]> 3202905 14 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 3236143 book 2 9 2008 The Book of Lies total:1106|5:129|4:363|3:415|2:151|1:48| 1106 3692 1750 343 4 4 false false Mon Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 03:02:40 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 08:12:15 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 1 3 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 13:38:14 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 14:08:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false true Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 11:54:29 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 12:00:21 -0700 2008
