Titles in This Set:
Killers of the Flower Moon
The Lost City of Z
The Wager
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Presenting a UK paperback collection that brings together David Grann’s narrative non-fiction in a single volume. Killers of the Flower Moon exposes the Osage murders of the 1920s in Oklahoma, set against wealth from oil. The Lost City of Z follows explorer Percy Fawcett’s obsession with a hidden civilization in the Amazon and his disappearance in 1925. The Wager recounts a brutal 18th‑century voyage: a damaged ship, a crew’s fight for survival, and a dramatic episode of leadership under pressure. These three works combine rigorous research with cinematic pacing and a clear moral lens on power, risk, and resilience. This set is ideal for readers who crave immersive history that reads like narrative non-fiction yet remains firmly grounded in fact.
What This Collection Covers:
Across these titles, Grann moves readers across continents and centuries to examine ambition, greed, and endurance. The collection traces how oil wealth reshaped a community and how colonial-era exploration tested limits of courage. Each book relies on archival material, interviews, and firsthand accounts to present history with the momentum of a gripping story. The trio offers distinct but complementary lenses—crime and justice, imperial exploration, and seafaring survival—creating a cohesive journey through Grann’s investigative imagination. It’s a strong fit for readers who enjoy serious nonfiction with narrative drive, as well as for classrooms and book clubs that welcome lively discussion about responsibility, leadership, and human resilience.
Book-by-Book Guide:
Killers of the Flower Moon In Killers of the Flower Moon, Grann recounts the Osage murders in Oklahoma during the 1920s, a period when oil wealth drew ruthless crime into the heart of a quiet community. Drawing on archival records, interviews, and legal documents, the book unpacks a chilling conspiracy and the forces that allowed it to persist. It follows investigators—local authorities, the press, and a newly formed FBI—as they uncover greed, complicity, and the long path to justice. The narrative blends meticulous research with immersive storytelling, offering a historically crucial perspective on a chapter of American history that remains startling and deeply human.
The Lost City of Z The Lost City of Z traces Percy Fawcett’s decades-long chase of a rumored ancient civilization in the Amazon. Grann pieces together expedition diaries, correspondence, and field reports to reveal Fawcett’s relentless pursuit and the peril that ultimately led to his disappearance in 1925. The tale balances wonder with risk, as ambitions chase legends beyond mapped territories. It invites readers to consider what explorers sacrifice in the name of discovery and how myth and reality intersect in a landscape that resists final answers.
The Wager The Wager tells a seafaring survival saga rooted in 1740s imperial rivalries. A British ship, sent on a secret mission, wrecks off Patagonia; the surviving crew confront dwindling supplies, mutiny rumors, and the harsh decisions that shape a legendary maritime drama. Grann reconstructs the voyage from logs, letters, and court records, turning a historical event into a vivid human drama about leadership, fate, and the costs of ambition. The Wager offers a gripping portrait of seafaring life in the 18th century and a stark reminder that even well-laid plans can founder in the face of nature’s enormity.
