NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST Disturbing and riveting...It will sear your soul. --Dave Eggers, New York Times Book Review SHELF AWARENESS\'S BEST BOOK OF 2017 Named a best book of the year by Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, GQ, Time, Newsday, Entertainment Weekly, Time Magazine, NPR\'s Maureen Corrigan, NPR\'s On Point, Vogue, Smithsonian, Cosmopolitan, Seattle Times, Bloomberg, Lit Hub\'s Ultimate Best Books, Library Journal, Paste, Kirkus, Slate.com and Book Browse From New Yorker staff writer David Grann, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lost City of Z, a twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma.
