Do you believe alien bodies were recovered in Roswell, New Mexico? That Oswald acted alone in the Kennedy assassination? Was it just John Wilkes Booth who killed Lincoln? 

If there’s one trait that seems to link us all as Americans it’s our passion for mysteries, conspiracies and puzzles.

Brad Meltzer doesn’t just like to decode mysteries, his own life is a bit of a mystery itself, full of twists and turns.

He’s one of the greatest comic book writers of our era and the author of nine best-selling books, including the No. 1 New York Times best-seller “The Inner Circle.”

He’s also the co-creator of the network TV series “Jack and Bobby” and you can catch him on the History Channel hosting “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded.”  

In his new book, “History Decoded: The 10 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time,” Brad doesn’t just count down the top 10 conspiracies, he says he presents the proof that unravels some of history’s greatest mysteries.  

Brad shares fascinating stories about what he’s uncovered, including the people who say they are descendants of John Wilkes Booth and their claim that he lived long after after assassinating Lincoln and what Brad thinks about the so-called fourth shot from the grassy knoll during the Kennedy assassination.
