For our fall virtual book club, the Village of Flossmoor, in partnership with the Flossmoor Public Library, has selected Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, by American author and journalist David Grann.

Grann is American journalist and best-selling author David Grann who has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and The Weekly Standard..

Killers of the Flower Moon is the story of the Osage Native Americans, who in the 1920s, became the wealthiest group of people per capita in the world because of oil under their land in Oklahoma. They were murdered in one of the most sinister crimes in American history. The case became one of the FBI’s first major homicide investigations.
