A discussion on the nonfiction book "Killers of the Flower Moon" by David Grann is scheduled for Monday, November 24, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. The event will take place at the Public Library of Mount Vernon & Knox County, located at 201 N. Mulberry Street in Mount Vernon.
The book delves into the events of the 1920s when members of Oklahoma's Osage Nation became some of the wealthiest people globally due to oil discovered beneath their land. However, a series of poisonings, shootings, and mysterious deaths targeted them. Those who attempted to investigate these murders also faced deadly consequences. This prompted involvement from the newly established FBI.
The library encourages participants to read the book before attending as it offers more depth than its film adaptation. The event is free and open to all ages, though it is primarily intended for adults. For further details, interested individuals can contact the library at (740) 392-BOOK or inquire at the Main Circulation desk.
"A masterful work of literary journalism crafted with the urgency of a mystery," said The Boston Globe about "Killers of the Flower Moon."
