In the 1920s, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma was one of the wealthiest communities in the world, thanks to their vast oil reserves. But when members of the tribe began to be brutally murdered, a shocking conspiracy unfolded.

In Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann weaves a gripping tale that combines true crime, investigative journalism, and a deep exploration of American history. Through meticulous research and interviews with survivors and descendants, Grann uncovers the shocking truth behind the Osage murders and the birth of the FBI.

The book follows the story of Tom White, an Osage man who witnesses the murder of his sister and becomes determined to find her killers. As White investigates, he uncovers a web of corruption that reaches all the way to the top levels of the government.

Grann's vivid prose and relentless pursuit of justice make Killers of the Flower Moon an unforgettable read. It is a powerful indictment of the systemic racism and greed that plagued America in the early 20th century and a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power.
