While investigating possible connections between Oswald and Jack Ruby, Kilgallen was found dead in her home. She was not dressed as usual, was in a bedroom she didn't sleep in, with her husband's sleeping medication in her system. Much of the first part of the book explains how extremely famous, well-connected, and influential Kilgallen was in her day. Latter part about JFK assasination and the aftermath more interesting, as is the info about her mysterious death.
