Blood will out : the true story of a murder, a mystery, and a masquerade / Walter Kirn. by Kirn, Walter, 1962- Liveright Publishing Corporation, a division of W.W. Norton & Company, [2014] Call #: 364.163 G368k Subjects Gerheitsreiter, Christian, 1961-   Kirn, Walter, 1962-   Impostors and imposture -- United States -- Case studies.   Murderers -- United States -- Case studies.   Authors, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Journalists -- United States -- Biography. ISBN:  9781631490224 (pbk.) 9780871404510 (hc.) 0871404516 (hc.) Edition:  First Edition. Description:  255 pages ; 25 cm Summary:  "In the summer of 1998, Walter Kirn, an aspiring novelist, set out on a peculiar, fateful errand: to personally deliver a crippled hunting dog from his home in Montana to the New York apartment of one Clark Rockefeller, a secretive young banker and art collector who had adopted the dog over the Internet. Thus began a fifteen-year relationship that drew Kirn deep into the world of an outlandish, eccentric son of privilege who ultimately would be unmasked as a brazen serial impostor, child kidnapper, and brutal murderer. As Kirn uncovers the truth about his friend, a psychopath masquerading as a gentleman, he also confronts hard truths about himself. He reflects on their tangled personal relationship and the surprising literary sources of Rockefeller's evil, and a predatory, sophisticated genius whose life, in some respects, parallels his own. A tale of self-invention, upward mobility, and intellectual arrogance. It exposes the layers of longing and corruption, ambition and self-delusion. Clark Rockefeller's actual name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. He is currently serving a life sentence for murder. Walter Kirn is a contributing editor to Time magazine and a regular reviewer for the New York Times Book Review. He is the author of four novels."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  True crime.
