Patrick covers the Clutter Family massacre. This is the story of two career criminals who get a bad tip off, freak out and murder an entire family.  It’s also the story of one of the most famous writers of the 20th century who gets involved in the case when he covers it for his True Crime book ‘In Cold Blood’. But what happens when Capote gets too close to one of the murderers? And how will it affect the rest of his life? Let’s find out together!
