In the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Buchanan initially believed that Jay Gatsby was the one who killed Myrtle Wilson. He had learned from his mistress, Myrtle, that Gatsby was the owner of the car that hit and killed her. However, Tom later finds out that it was actually Daisy who was driving the car at the time of the accident, but he convinces himself that Gatsby was responsible for the accident because he had a personal vendetta against him.
