About this title

Synopsis

One of the greatest non-fiction novels from one of America's most talented writers.

Agent Al Dewey, of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, has a crime to solve. A horrific crime - the cool slaughter of an entire family of God-fearing farming folk. Blood and hair all over the walls, and only a few dollars missing. All Agent Dewey has are two footprints, four dead bodies and a whole lots of questions, none with easy answers.

Truman Capote's brilliant reconstruction of the events and consequences of the murderous November night in 1959 is a superb and gripping mix of journalistic skill and sheer imaginative power.

About the Author

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1925 and grew up there, and in Alabama. After a regular job at the New Yorker, he published OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS, his first novel, a commercial and critical success. Other novels and short stories followed, including BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1958), until in 1965 he published IN COLD BLOOD to a storm of controversy and yet more critical praise. He died in 1984.
