On November 15, 1959, in a quiet Kansas town, the Clutter family was brutally murdered in their home. Without apparent motives and no initial clues, the crime baffled the community. Five years later, Dick Hickcock and Perry Smith were executed for these murders. Truman Capote, after exhaustive research and interviews with those involved, transformed these real events into 'In Cold Blood', a novel that established him as one of the greats of 20th-century American literature. Capote closely follows the life of the town, portrays the victims, and accompanies the police in the search and capture of the criminals, focusing on the psychology of Hickcock and Smith, managing to make the reader know them intimately.
