It is my understanding that when Truman Capote set out to write “In Cold Blood”, Harper traveled with him as a research assistant.

There have always been rumors that Capote wrote TKAM.

I know there was some relationship between Capote and Lee, but I didn't know it was around "In Cold Blood."

That story and the Starkweather murders still give me chills. I'm not sure why, except that they were both so senseless and took place in such innocuous settings. Holcomb, Kansas? Middle Nebraska? If those places aren't safe, where is?

They were childhood friends. Capote is the character “Dill” who comes to visit the summer of the events and trial.
