In Cold Blood	comment	Considered by somenote See the YMMV about Operation Massacre about this to be the Trope Codifier for the non-fiction novel, In Cold Blood was written by Truman Capote and originally serialized in The New Yorker in late 1965 before getting published in book form the following year.It tells the story of Perry Edward Smith and Richard "Dick" Hickock, two recently-paroled convicts in 1959 Kansas. While in prison, Hickock had learned from a cellmate named Floyd Wells about a farmer that the latter had worked for named Herb Clutter. According to Wells, Clutter kept a safe in his house with lots of cash inside. So, Smith and Hickock decide to rob the place in the dead of night, Leave No Witnesses by means of a Family Extermination, then head down to Mexico with the money. And that's just what they do. Except for one small thing: there is no safe.Capote first read about the massacre in The New York Times. Intrigued, he pitched the idea of writing about it to New Yorker editor William Shawn, then traveled to Kansas, where he was able to interview both Smith and Hickock shortly after their arrest. Assisted by his friend and fellow writer Harper Lee (of To Kill a Mockingbird fame), Capote got a lot of additional info from local residents and law enforcement officials, eventually turning up enough material to expand his intended article to book length.In Cold Blood was adapted into a well-regarded 1967 film, directed by Richard Brooks and starring Robert Blake as Smith and Scott Wilson as Hickock, and then again as a 1996 television miniseries starring Anthony Edwards as Hickock and Eric Roberts as Smith. The story of its creation was told twice within a year: first as Capote in 2005, and then as Infamous in 2006.

In Cold Blood / int_1207d30	type	Villain's Dying Grace
In Cold Blood / int_1207d30	comment	Villain's Dying Grace: When he knows he and Dick are cooked, Smith changes his confession to include the fact that he murdered all the Clutters, not Dick. This is mostly done because he thinks Dick's parents are good people that shouldn't have to live with the fact that their son is a killer.

He says "I feel real lucky tonight." Immediately after those words escape his lips, they're pulled over by a cop, which eventually results in them being arrested for the Clutter murders.

He further claims that Smith despises the other mass-murdering inmate, Lowell Lee Andrews, because Andrews actually had an education at the University of Kansas and makes Smith look stupid by comparison.
