Dave Hickock never pulled the trigger of a

gun or held a knife to murder another person, but he was

sentenced to a lifetime of shame, ostracism, guilt, and

psychological anguish because of the actions of one man-his

brother. On November 15, 1959, Richard Hickock drove to a

bus station in Kansas City and picked up Perry Smith, a

prison buddy. Together, they drove to Emporia, Kansas, and

purchased rubber gloves, nylon cord, and black stockings.

Before day's end, four innocent members of the Clutter

family in a town across the state of Kansas would have their

throats slashed and Richard and his buddy would be arrested

and charged with one of the most brutal and infamous murders

ever. As the brother of a cold-blooded killer, Dave's life

would never be the same. In this compelling narrative told

to Linda LeBert-Corbello, Dave shares his journey from the

depths of a family tragedy to how he eventually found the

kind of inner-peace that accompanies acceptance of the truth

and forgiveness. I do not just want to forget and live

happily ever after. I want to be forgiven. -David Hickock
