簡介
<b>The most famous true crime novel of all time and one of the first non-fiction novels ever written; <i>In Cold Blood</i> is the bestseller that haunted its author long after he finished writing it. <br /></b><br /> 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. <br /><br /> 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. <i>In Cold Blood</i> is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.
