Join us for a zoom discussion of Montillo's book "Deliberate Cruelty: Truman Capote, the Millionaire's Wife, and the Murder of the Century."

When Ann Eden married banking heir Billy Woodward in 1943, it seemed the small-town showgirl had secured the elite status she had long dreamt of. But when she shot and killed Billy twelve years later, the popular socialite found herself embedded in scandal—and piquing the interest of writer Truman Capote, whose attentions would ultimately be the downfall of them both.
