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 almost no clues. As Truman Capote reconstructed the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he set the standard for the nonfiction novel.
