Book Preview:

#1 The town of Holcomb is located on the high wheat plains of western Kansas. It is a lonesome area that other Kansans call out there. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, and the men wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes.

#2 Until November 1959, no Americans had ever heard of Holcomb. But when four foreign sounds impinged on the town’s normal noises that morning, none of the people there had ever heard them before.

#3 Herbert William Clutter was the master of River Valley Farm. He was 48 years old, and he had a strong and healthy appearance. He was not as rich as the richest man in Holcomb, Mr. Taylor Jones, a neighboring rancher, but he was still widely known and respected among Midwestern agriculturists.

#4 Mr. Clutter’s wife, Bonnie, had been an on-and-off psychiatric patient the last half-dozen years. She had recently been diagnosed with a physical condition that was causing her pain. Clutter was worried about how his family would react to this news.
