A N D E V E R Y W O R D I S T R U E WHAT TRUMAN CAPOTE LEFT OUT OF IN COLD BLOOD

By Gary McAvoy with Ronald Nye

Copyright 2017 Gary McAvoy/Koru Inc.


• Since its publication in 1966, In Cold Blood (ICB) has sold tens of millions of copies, ranking it among the most iconic stories of true crime in America. It is required reading in thousands of high schools, law colleges, and criminology institutions—worldwide

• Publishers Weekly reports that ICB sold nearly 30,000 e-books in 2012 alone, making its annual bestseller list for digital books. Of all books offered on Amazon.com, ICB currently ranks #467, and routinely ranks among Amazon’s Top 100 books in Literature & Fiction. Goodreads, the most popular book site on the Internet, ranks ICB #44 on the Best Books of the 20th Century.

• Readers worldwide have an insatiable appetite for the lurid, legalistic, and forensic details of true crime. And Every Word is True (“Every Word”) will not only indulge that hunger but, at the very least, stir up fresh discussion on a case that time will simply not let be forgotten

• For the first time, through the revelations of never before seen material from the investigative notebooks of Special Agent Harold Nye, a lead detective on the quadruple murder, new information and theories come to light that will rewrite history

• Koru rights are global and exclusive for Publishing only, excluding certain e-book rights

The basis for a book …


• The Kansas Bureau of Investigation tried relentlessly for over four years to prevent author Gary McAvoy and his collaborator, Agent Nye’s son Ronald, from publishing the Nye materials. Why? Their shocking reasons are now known.

• Ultimately McAvoy and Nye prevailed on every count, with the Court castigating the state’s attorney general for several irresponsible actions

• Harold Nye wanted his son to help him write a book to correct the record—being fired as KBI Director in 1971 for even discussing the prospect—but died before he could take it any further

• The Nye notebooks, the death row letters from one of the killers, and official KBI reports all support the strong possibility that Herbert Clutter’s murder was a crime of passion—the target of a murder for hire

• … and more
