About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The most famous true crime novel of all time \"chills the blood and exercises the intelligence\" (The New York Review of Books)—and haunted its author long after he finished writing it.
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.

In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.
