Super Short Summary

Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann recounts the 1920s Reign of Terror, during which members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were murdered for their oil wealth, often under mysterious circumstances, as authorities and private agencies failed to solve the crimes. Tom White and the Bureau of Investigation eventually uncovered evidence implicating prominent local figures, including William Hale and the Burkhart brothers. The book also explores Grann's research into the prolonged and pervasive nature of these killings. The narrative describes extreme violence and racist anti-Indigenous stereotypes.
