| Plot Summary of In Cold Blood |
|---|
"One summer, an entire Kansas family was killed by two escaped convicts in search of money to continue on their journey. This stark yet poignant book gives an omniscient background of the Clutter family and a first-hand look at the lives of the criminals and killers, Dick and Perry as well as the killings themselves.
