Brad Meltzer's The Book of Lies

When a homeless man with a gunshot wound is revealed to be Calvin Harper’s long-lost father, Cal must scramble his resources while dealing with a watershed of emotions.  Father and son are drawn into a mystery involving the recovery of the supposed murder weapon Cain used in the Bible.  Hints eventually lead them to seek out the remnants of Superman creator Jerry Siegel and solve the mystery behind the death of Siegel’s father.  Meltzer executes another spellbinding tale that continually keeps readers guessing, along with a good mix of biblical and comic book lore.
