On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb,
Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts
from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive
for the crime, and there were almost no clues.
As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the
investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he
generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding
poignant insights into the nature of American violence.
