Andrew Klavan is an award-winning writer, screenwriter, and media commentator. An internationally bestselling novelist and two-time Edgar Award-winner, Klavan is also the host of a popular podcast on DailyWire.com, The Andrew Klavan Show. His work has been made into films starring Clint Eastwood, Michael Douglas, and Michael Caine. His essays on politics, religion, and culture have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, and elsewhere.

Andrew Klavan has spent a lifetime trying to read what is written on the heart. That's a difficult thing to do, for the heart is wrapped in shadows that we mistake for substance: We are never better deceived than when we deceive ourselves. But in The Kingdom of Cain, Klavan forces himself to self-honesty by seeing the ways that art can explore evil, and the ways that evil--the real, deep genuine stuff--can show us the reality of good: the law written on the heart. As Klavan walks through artworks from Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment to Hitchcock's Psycho, he tells us of the light that can be seen best in darkness.
