About This Book
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.
With the publication of this book, Capote permanently ripped through the barrier
separating crime reportage from serious literature. As he reconstructs the 1959
murder of a Kansas farm family and the investigation that led to the capture,
trial, and execution of the killers, Capote generates suspense and empathy.
