Mostly Nonfiction Book Club

In the 1920s, the Osage Indians of Oklahoma became the world's wealthiest per capita due to oil beneath their land. They lived lavishly, but a series of mysterious murders shattered their prosperity. David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon '' uncovers this harrowing true crime saga. Through a relentless investigation, Grann exposes a web of secrets and a system that enabled the killers' impunity. The book is a riveting narrative, also serving as a powerful indictment of the prejudice against Native Americans. It's an emotionally devastating account of a forgotten tragedy. (359 pages)
