In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a pioneering 1966 true-crime non-fiction novel that meticulously details the brutal 1959 murders of the Clutter family in the small, quiet farming community of Holcomb, Kansas. Capote spent six years researching the case—initially traveling to Kansas with his lifelong friend, author Harper Lee—to interview residents and investigate the crime before the killers were even caught. **A thank you note and random stickers or bookmarks may be included with the order.
