David Grann’s new book is a meticulously researched conspiracy against the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma.  The narrative nonfiction account by David Grann, New Yorker writer and author of The Lost City of Z , employs Grann’s singular skill finding a story that, while not unknown, is not known enough, and to dig so deeply and precisely into the historical record that what you find not only amplifies and builds upon that record but arrives with a force of revelation.  You may find yourself wondering why you have never learned till now of the strange and terrible saga that came to be known as the Osage Reign of Terror.

FYI:  it is reported that Scorsese, DiCaprio and DeNiro are eyeing the true- crime $5,ooo,ooo book adaption to make the movie..  Storey Book Club will read the book and then plan an outing for dinner and a movie!
