- Summary
- "In 1955, Ann Woodward, a former showgirl turned society wife, accidentally shot and killed her husband, Billy, when she mistook him for a midnight prowler. But was it accidental? Billy had just discovered that Ann lied to him to cover up her seedy past, and he was threatening to divorce her. Billy's family quickly put the case to rest before a trial could happen, and they banished Ann to Europe without her children. Truman Capote had a lot in common with Ann Woodward. Both of them came from nowhere and desperately needed to be someone. After the shooting, Truman became obsessed with Ann, but she was never one of his 'swans,' the wealthy beauties starring in his masterpiece-in-progress, Answered Prayers. When Esquire released an excerpt, 'La Côte Basque, 1965,' Ann's story was at its vicious center. She killed herself when it was published, but it was really Truman who murdered her, committing his own literary and social suicide at the same time"--Dust jacket flap
