Owl Book Group: Killers of the Flower Moon
Friday May 31, 10:30am-12pm
Cedar Mill Library
Join us for a book discussion of Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.
In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. One by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
