OverviewBrad 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 Full Product DetailsAuthor: Brad MeltzerPublisher: Time Warner Trade Publishing Imprint: Warner Books Inc Dimensions: Width: 10.50cm , Height: 2.50cm , Length: 17.00cm Weight: 0.227kg ISBN: 9780446616140ISBN 10: 0446616141 Pages: 435 Publication Date: 01 June 2009 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Out of Print Availability: Awaiting stock Table of ContentsReviewsMeltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci. --PEOPLE Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci. -- <b>PEOPLE</b> Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci. -- PEOPLE Author InformationBrad Meltzer is the author of six New York Times bestselling thrillers: The TenthJustice, Dead Even, The First Counsel, The Millionaires, The Zero Game, and TheBook of Fate.
