In a small town in Kansas, the four members of a wealthy family of farmers are brutally murdered. Truman Capote reconstructs the steps of the investigation, paralleling the life of this perfect family and their long drift of the two suspects. Through this terrible news item, he plunges us into the heart of Kansas for 50 years and its judicial institutions. Captivating, masterful, brilliant. A great novel in the vein of "Sanctuary" Faulkner.
