This case is completely insane and so so heartbreaking. I think non fiction like this is always at risk of being super dry and boring, but Grann tells the story beautifully.

Far more riveting than I had expected! I purchased a digital copy years ago after hearing an NPR interview with the author, David Grann. The book deeply demonstrates the pure audacity and unchecked depravity of colonizers. Whenever I read about early Americans and their treatment of either the enslaved or Native Americans I'm not surprised but I'm definitely exhausted. Grann is a writer and journalist, and his skills for detailed research only enhanced his superb delivery of this terrible period of American history. My jaw dropped more than a few times at the brazenness of the crimes, and the confidence that no one would face any consequences (and many of the perpetrators did not).  This is a fantastic choice if you are looking for an American true crime story.
