I thought so right up to the moment I cut his throat.\" Told in chapters that alternate between the Clutter household and the approach of Smith and Hickock in their black Chevrolet, then between the investigation of the case and the killers' flight, Capote's account is so detailed that the reader comes to feel almost like a participant in the events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Truman Capote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.69w x 1.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812994384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e79631 \/ In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruman Capote \u003c\/b\u003ewas born September 30, 1924, in New Orleans.
