When outsiders were called in to investigate, they too met mysterious ends. Suddenly, the Osage began dying off, one by one, without explanation.
In the roaring ‘20s, the Osage Nation was home to the richest people per capita in the world, thanks to huge stores of oil beneath their land in Oklahoma. Capote’s book, based on thousands of interviews with locals, investigators, and the perpetrator themselves, took more than six years to complete-and each vivid detail and line of dialogue showcases the immense consideration and compassion the author poured into his work. Each event leading up to and following the crime is painstakingly described, leaving you completely breathless right up to the killers’ identification and capture. Baffled by this startling, seemingly senseless act of violence, local law enforcement was plunged into a furious scramble to uncover a motive. It was the kind of murder often linked to a robbery-but there was little cash and few valuables in the family farmhouse. In November 1959, the Clutter family was killed by a series of shotgun blasts. In the masterwork that cemented him as a literary icon, Truman Capote tells the chilling story of the vicious murder of a quiet, good-natured family of four in rural Kansas. Hall of Fame narrator Scott Brick (dubbed the man with a golden voice) brings an expertly executed narration, rich with intelligence and sensitivity, to this utterly captivating story you won’t be able to pause.
