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.
