In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, HC/DJ, 1st BOTMC, 1965 Random House

Description: Truman Capote wrote In Cold Blood in a repertorial style, detailing the circumstances of the 1959 Clutter family murders in Holcomb, Kansas. He was assisted in his research by his childhood friend Harper Lee, famous for To Kill a Mockingbird, in which Capote "appears" as the character Dill. In Cold Blood is the first novel explicitly in the "True Crime" genre, and is among the best-selling of all time. It was initially published in 1966, and was filmed by Richard Brooks in 1967, starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson as the murderers Perry Smith and Richard Hickock. This copy is the first Book of the Month Club edition, published in conjunction with the release of the film. This copy is not a first printing of the edition.
