What would be the main theme in In Cold Blood, the novel by Truman Capote?

It is considered the originator of the non-fiction novel and the forerunner of the New Journalism movement. The story weaves a complicated psychological story of two parolees who together commit a mass murder, an act they were not capable of individually. Capote’s book also details the lives of the victims and the effect the crime had on where they lived. A large part of the story involves the dynamic psychological relationship of the two felons that culminated in this senseless crime. In Cold Blood is often regarded as a pioneering work of true crime. http://en.wikipedia.

The main theme that should be gleaned from “In Cold Blood” is that covetousness and thievery do not pay. It almost always results in as much or more ruin for he who covets and steals as it does for his victims, and the returns garnered are not worth the price to be paid in blood by either.
