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.
