Overview
Step into the world of David Grann, the #1 New York Times bestselling journalist whose meticulously reported narratives read like the best crime thrillers. This two-book paperback set pairs his most celebrated true stories: a shocking murder conspiracy on the Osage Nation's oil-rich land in 1920s Oklahoma, and a century-old obsession with a lost Amazonian civilization that swallowed an explorer whole. Both books blend rigorous historical research with page-turning suspense, making them essential reading for true crime fans, history buffs, and anyone who loves a real-life mystery that refuses to stay buried.

About the Books
This collection brings together two of David Grann's most acclaimed works of narrative nonfiction, each an investigation into a mystery that history nearly forgot. Killers of the Flower Moon uncovers one of the FBI's first major homicide cases: a string of murders targeting members of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma after oil turned their land into the richest per-capita territory in the world. Grann traces how greed and racism fueled a conspiracy that reached into local power, and how a fledgling Bureau of Investigation, under a young J. Edgar Hoover, took on the case. The book was a finalist for the National Book Award and was adapted into a major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese. The Lost City of Z follows British explorer Percy Fawcett's decades-long search for a hidden civilization deep in the Amazon rainforest, a quest that ended with his mysterious disappearance in 1925. Weaving together Fawcett's expedition diaries with his own journey into the jungle, Grann builds a gripping account of obsession and the perilous pull of the unknown. Together, these two books showcase Grann's signature style: exhaustively researched, briskly paced, and driven by a novelist's instinct for suspense. Readers move from the plains of Oklahoma to the Amazon basin, but the throughline is constant — ordinary people confronting forces of greed and history far larger than themselves.
