Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann unveils the shocking series of murders in the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage became immensely wealthy, drawing attention and triggering greed that led to the murders of many Osage people. This series of crimes, known as the Reign of Terror, was one of the fledgling FBI's first major homicide investigations. The book follows the detectives as they uncover a chilling conspiracy and bring to justice those responsible for exploiting and killing the Osage for their wealth. Grann's narrative not only captures a pivotal moment in American history but also exposes a grave injustice and the roots of ongoing systemic issues within the legal and cultural treatment of Native Americans.
