David Grann

The New York Times bestseller and the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime winner Killers of the Flower Moon is now adapted for young readers.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of Killers of the Flower Moon, a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deeper meaning of the events on The Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire. A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The New Yorker, TIME, Smithsonian, NPR, Vulture, Kirkus Reviews "Riveting... Reads like a thriller, tackling a multilayered history--and imperialism--with gusto." --Time "A tour de force of narrative nonfiction." --The Wall Street Journal On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty's Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as "the prize of all the oceans," it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. But then ... six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes - they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death--for whomever the court found guilty could hang. The Wager is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers. Grann's recreation of the hidden world on a British warship rivals the work of Patrick O'Brian, his portrayal of the castaways' desperate straits stands up to the classics of survival writing such as The Endurance, and his account of the court martial has the savvy of a Scott Turow thriller. As always with Grann's work, the incredible twists of the narrative hold the reader spellbound.

A young reader edition of the New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist about one of history's most ruthless and shocking crimes, the Reign of Terror against the Osage people. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll surpassed more than twenty-four Osage, the newly created F. B. I. took up the case, in what became one of the organization's first major homicide investigations. An undercover team, including one of the only Native American agents in the bureau, infiltrated the region, struggling to adopt the latest modern techniques of detection to bring an end to the deadly crime spree. Together with the Osage they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. In this youngification of the adult bestseller, critically acclaimed author David Grann revisits the gripping investigation into the shocking crimes against the Osage people. It is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward Native Americans that allowed the murderers to continue for so long and provides essential information for young readers about a shameful period in U. S. history.

A true story of greed and murder of Native Americans by their countrymen Journalist Dennis McAuliffe Jr. grew up believing that his Osage Indian grandmother, Sybil Bolton, had died an early death in 1925 from kidney disease. It was only by chance that he learned the real cause was a gunshot wound, and that her murder may well have been engineered by his own grandfather. As McAuliffe peeled away layers of suppressed history, he learned that Sybil was a victim of the “Osage Reign of Terror”—a systematic killing spree in the 1920s when white men descended upon the oil-rich Osage reservation to court, marry, and murder Native women to gain control of their money. The Deaths of Sybil Bolton is part murder mystery, part family memoir, and part spiritual journey.

VINNARE: Edgar Award (Bästa true crime) NOMINERAD: CWA Gold Dagger (Bästa fackbok)»David Grann är en mästare. Det här är en bok som bränner i själen.« | The New York Times »En bok utan motstycke, spännande som en deckare.« | Göran Everdahl, Go kväll, SVT På 1920-talet var osagefolket i Oklahoma i USArikast i världen per capita. Orsaken var ett stort oljefynd på deras ofruktbara reservat, där detta förut utfattiga och förtryckta folk hade markrätterna. Nu körde de omkring i dyra bilar, byggde stora residens och kunde skicka sina barn till Europa för att studera. Men mellan 1921 och 1923 miste den ena efter den andra av dem livet i en våg av oförklarliga självmord, trafikolyckor, explosioner, förgiftningar och skottdramer. Dessa händelser sammanfaller med att J. Edgar Hoover lägger grunden till det som senare skulle bli FBI. Hoover betraktade Osage-mysteriet som ett gyllene tillfälle att visa vad en modern federal polismyndighet kunde uträtta.

Indianerkrigene er for lengst over. De overlevende er stort sett parkert i reservater med dårlige kår. Det fins ett unntak. Osage-indianerne blir forflyttet til et område alle trodde skulle være uten interesse, et område i Oklahoma, som skulle vise seg å inneha de største oljeforekomstene i USA. Osage-indianeren er plutselig millionærer, kjører luksusbiler og sender barna sine til prestisjetunge skoler i Europa. En dag forsvinner to av stammens medlemmer. Den ene blir funnet med en kule i hodet, den andre er blitt forgiftet. Flere dør, og en bolig blir sprengt i lufta. Hvem står bak disse kriminelle handlingene? Den første etterforskningen er svært overfladisk. Men etter en ny serie mord, blir BOI (Bureau of Investigation), det som skal bli FBI under unge Edgar J. Hoover, satt på saken. Og resultatet er sjokkerende.«Samfunnsreportasje av edelt merke. Denne utgivelsen i Aschehougs fornemme Sidespor-serie, får meg til å tenke den formastelige tanke at fiksjon er vel og bra, men at lite eller ingen ting slår effekten den rene og skjære virkelighetsgjengivelsen kan ha. En amerikansk forbrytelse er detaljtett og komprimert i uttrykket, og krever årvåkne lesere, som imidlertid vil bli rikt belønnet på nær sagt hver side.» Pål Gerhard Olsen, Aftenposten«Suveren: David Granns bok om oljerikdom og overgrep mot indianere er rystende lesning. Det er en djevelsk historie der drivkraften er hvit rasisme og grådighet.» Geir Pollen, Klassekampen

Now a major film starring Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek and Casey Affleck, The Old Man and the Gun is joined by two other riveting true-crime tales by the author of the bestselling Killers of the Flower Moon

‘A riveting, exciting and thoroughly compelling tale of adventure’ JOHN GRISHAM on David Grann's The Lost City of Z‘A wonderful story of a lost age of heroic exploration’ Sunday Times on The Lost City of Z‘Marvellous ... An engrossing book whose protagonist could out-think Indiana Jones’ Daily Telegraph on The Lost City of ZDAILY MAIL BOOK OF THE WEEK One man's perilous quest to cross Antarctica in the footsteps of Shackleton. Henry Worsley was a devoted husband and father and a decorated British special forces officer who believed in honour and sacrifice. He was also a man obsessed. He spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the 20th-century polar explorer, who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Shackleton never completed his journeys, but he repeatedly rescued his men from certain death and emerged as one of the greatest leaders in history. Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. He was related to one of Shackleton's men, Frank Worsley, and spent a fortune collecting artefacts from their epic treks across the continent. He modelled his military command on Shackleton's legendary skills and was determined to measure his own powers of endurance against them. He would succeed where Shackleton had failed, in the most brutal landscape in the world. In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton's crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape, life-threatening physical exhaustion and hidden crevasses. Yet when he returned home he felt compelled to go back. On November 2015, at age 55, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone. David Grann tells Worsley's remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led him to be called ‘simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today’. Illustrated with more than 50 stunning photographs from Worsley's and Shackleton's journeys, The White Darkness is both a gorgeous keepsake volume and a spellbinding story of courage, love and a man pushing himself to the extremes of human capacity. Praise for David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon: ‘A riveting true story of greed, serial murder and racial injustice’ JON KRAKAUER ‘A fiercely entertaining mystery story and a wrenching exploration of evil’ KATE ATKINSON‘A fascinating account of a tragic and forgotten chapter in the history of the American West’ JOHN GRISHAM ‘Disturbing and riveting... Grann has proved himself a master of spinning delicious, many-layered mysteries that also happen to be true... It will sear your soul’ DAVE EGGERS, New York Times Book Review‘An extraordinary story with extraordinary pace and atmosphere’ Sunday Times ‘A marvel of detective-like research and narrative verve’ Financial Times
