I find it odd that people would think she ghosted In Cold Blood, considering that Harper Lee published exactly one book (two as of 2019) and Capote published well over a dozen.
Not saying it isn't possible, one would just generally assume that the "ghost" would be the more experienced author.

One could argue that she was the more successful novelist. Capote's fame is mostly due to his "jet set" social life, not the quantity or quality of his work.
