The Book of Lies (Meltzer novel)

The book of Genesis tells the story of the slaying of Abel by his brother Cain; the world's first recorded murder. But the Bible does not say what weapon Cain used. That detail is lost to history. In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to the chest. As a result, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and co-created the world's greatest superhero: Superman. Like Cain's murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found, until now. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Cal Harper comes face-to-face with his family's greatest secret: his long-lost father, who has been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel's 1932 murder. When Cal and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the ancient markings of Cain, he learns that the two murders, committed thousands of years apart, have something in common, setting off the hunt for the world's first murder weapon.
