A veteran technology executive and established writer, Gary McAvoy is also a collector of rare historical letters and literary manuscripts. Those who share this passion know few things compare to holding history in one’s hands—a letter penned by F. Scott Fitzgerald to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, discussing royalties for The Great Gatsby, for example, or one by Truman Capote lamenting work on his book In Cold Blood.
It was this last acquisition, in fact, that sparked the intriguing discoveries leading up to Gary’s forthcoming book, And Every Word Is True, a revealing look at startling new disclosures about the investigation surrounding the infamous 1959 Clutter family murders, heinous crimes chillingly portrayed in Capote's book.
Set for publication in early Spring 2019, And Every Word Is True is required reading for anyone who thinks In Cold Blood is the end of the story about one of America’s most iconic true crimes. It isn't.
