Updating Data with SQL - code challenge - why is this not working?

Here is question:

Challenge Task 2 of 2

Now we're using a database from a smartphone. It has a phone_book table. It has the columns id, first_name, last_name and phone. Update all contacts to have the first name of "Mystery" and last name of "Person".

I entered:

UPDATE phone_book SET first_name = "Mystery", SET last_name = "Person"

Did I miss some simple syntax? Thanks.
