About this product
Product Information
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history, from the author of The Wager and The Lost City of Z, "one of the preeminent adventure and true-crime writers working today."-- New York Magazine * NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST * NOW A MARTIN SCORSESE PICTURE "A shocking whodunit...What more could fans of true-crime thrillers ask?"-- USA Today "A masterful work of literary journalism crafted with the urgency of a mystery." -- The Boston Globe In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. Look for David Grann's latest bestselling book, The Wager !

Praise for Killers of the Flower Moon JOHN GRISHAM : "A fascinating account of a tragic and forgotten chapter in the history of the American West. As in all his work, David Grann digs deep, and this powerful story reveals the unimaginable scale of these shocking murders almost a hundred years ago." ERIK LARSON: "Quite simply, this is a remarkable book, by a remarkable author--an exhumation of a shockingly brutal series of historical murders, that I for one knew nothing about. Utterly original; completely compelling." LOUISE ERDRICH: " Killers of the Flower Moon brings shattering resolve to a story that resonates now. As Native Americans fighting to protect resources on the remnants of our lands, we confront the same paternalism, hypocrisy, and greed that destroyed Osage lives and culture in the early 1920's. David Grann has a razor keen instinct for suspense. He shapes outrage into a principled steady insistence that voice be given to the victims and their descendants. He creates deeply human portraits of every character in this drama--the evil, the just, the innocent, the doomed. Through meticulous detective work, Grann rescues unbearable truth. As with all of his books, this is a mesmerizing read." S.C. GWYNNE: "Loyal readers of David Grann's books have come to expect jaw-dropping set-ups and brilliantly crafted narratives. Both are on full, dazzling display here. There is an unexpected bonus in the book's final section, when Grann puts on his deer-stalking hat and proceeds to solve several 85-year-old, unsolved crimes." JON KRAKAUER: "Killers of the Flower Moon is a magnificent book--a riveting true story of greed, serial murder, and racial injustice that exposes an extremely disturbing episode of American History. David Grann is a terrific journalist, and this is maybe the best thing he's ever written.", "Quite simply, this is a remarkable book, by a remarkable author--an exhumation of a shockingly brutal series of historical murders, that I for one knew nothing about. Utterly original; completely compelling." --Erik Larson, New York Times bestselling author of Dead Wake and Devil in the White City "Killers of the Flower Moon is a magnificent book--a riveting true story of greed, serial murder, and racial injustice that exposes an extremely disturbing episode of American History. David Grann is a terrific journalist, and this is maybe the best thing he's ever written." --Jon Krakauer, New York Times bestselling author of Missoula and Into Thin Air "Loyal readers of David Grann's books have come to expect jaw-dropping set-ups and brilliantly crafted narratives. Both are on full, dazzling display here. There is an unexpected bonus in the book's final section, when Grann puts on his deer-stalking hat and proceeds to solve several 85-year-old, unsolved crimes." --S.C Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author of Rebel Yell and Empire of the Summer Moon, "Quite simply, this is a remarkable book, by a remarkable author--an exhumation of a shockingly brutal series of historical murders, that I for one knew nothing about.

This stunning story had been lost to time. Now, thanks to David Grann, it will never again be forgotten." --Candice Millard, New York Times bestselling author of Hero of the Empire "If Killers of the Flower Moon were a novel, one would marvel at David Grann's skill in constructing such a taut, driving narrative with so many stunning plot twists. But it is a true story, based on years of meticulous reporting, making the book both a fiercely entertaining mystery story and a wrenching exploration of evil." --Kate Atkinson, New York Times bestselling author of A God in Ruins and Life After Life, Praise for Killers of the Flower Moon JOHN GRISHAM : "A fascinating account of a tragic and forgotten chapter in the history of the American West.
