Description

A riveting true story of greed, serial murder and racial injustice, 'Killers of the Flower Moon' is a deeply unsettling tale of the American West. In the 1920s, the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma became one of the richest people per capita in the world, but their fortunes were built on a foundation of blood and deceit. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case, but its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, struggled to unravel the mystery. It was only when a former Texas Ranger, Tom White, was brought in that the investigation began to take shape. Together, they exposed a chilling conspiracy that would go down in history as one of the most infamous unsolved crimes of the 20th century. With meticulous research and a razor-sharp instinct for suspense, David Grann brings this dark chapter in American history to life, shedding light on a tragic and forgotten chapter in the history of the American West.
