In Cold Blood
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. 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.

A modern classic worthy of a second look. Capote delves into the lives of all of those affected by this cold-blooded murder. One of the first if not the first true crime writings in American literature. It reads like a novel but is all the more horrific and poignant because it actually happened.
obviously this was fantastic. brilliant and detailed account on this true crime event beginning to end, nothing left out. satisfying page turner.
