The book, an expansion of a Vanity Fair investigative piece, re-examines the events of October 7, 1966. According to the synopsis provided on Goodreads, Tirella had informed Duke that he was leaving her employment to pursue a career as a Hollywood set designer. Minutes later, while Tirella was outside the vehicle opening the estate gates, Duke accelerated the car, crushing and dragging him to his death.Local police quickly ruled the incident an "unfortunate accident". Lance argues that this ruling was part of a quid-pro-quo agreement to protect Duke, who subsequently donated millions to the city's historic preservation.Supported by 105 illustrations and previously missing forensic files, the book explores:The Official Narrative vs. Reality: Lance debunks Duke's claim that she accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, utilizing forensic evidence to suggest the incident was an intentional act of vehicular homicide.The Newport Cover-Up: Details on how influential figures allegedly abetted Duke, leading to missing case files and favorable reports.Eduardo Tirella's Legacy: A restorative profile of Tirella—a gay WWII war hero and set designer—whose reputation Lance asserts Duke attempted to erase from history.
