lonemagpieBook Of Lies is a chase thriller by Brad Meltzer, who's TV show, Decoded, is usually fun, and that's why I gave the novel a go.
Overall it was OK, but predictable in all the twists, and the characters never leapt off the page.
The story's about the search for the truth behind the Biblical mark of Cain, and the weapon he supposedly used to kill Abel. Also it's about the origins of Superman. Meltzer definitely gets points for having a surprising yet fitting actual truth to what the Macguffin is, though it never quite follows through with the weapon part.
So, a bit laboured, but generally entertaining in a TV episode-ish way.
