Epic in scope and inspired by actual people and events in what was Indian Territory — present-day Oklahoma — Black Sun, Killer Moon tells the extraordinary story of escaped slave Silence Reeves. Hoping to find his way north to freedom after killing his master, Silence is scooped up by a tornado and slammed down in Indian Territory, where no white man’s law exists, only savages, Silence believes, who will eat his liver. What Silence discovers, however, begins his transformation from forced ignorance to, “A civilized man. A dignified man. An educated man.” But also a gunman as he begins the hunt for his adoptive father’s killer amid the explosion of post-Civil War crime in Indian Territory. To end the lawlessness, a “hanging judge” is summoned and U.S. Deputy Marshals are appointed. Rangers with the shooting and tracking skills necessary to bring in the worst humanity has to offer – dead or alive. Men with skills like those of Silence Reeves and the astute, ever-insightful Creek leader, Hawk Eyes. But also men like the one who murdered Silence’s adoptive father. A clash between Silence and that man becomes inevitable. A mere question of time and place. With a resolution that will leave readers breathless.

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. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!

A thrilling debut set at the height--and in the heart--of Soviet power, with intricately plotted machinations, secrets and surveillance, corrupt politicos and puppet masters in the Politburo, and one devastating weapon. It is the dawn of the 1960s. In order to investigate the gruesome death of a brilliant young physicist, KGB officer Major Alexander Vasin must leave Moscow for Arzamas-16, a top secret research city that does not appear on any map. There he comes up against the brightest, most cutthroat brain trust in Russia who, on the orders of Nikita Khrushchev himself, are building a nuclear weapon with 3,800 times the destructive potential of the Hiroshima bomb. RDS-220 is a project of such vital national importance that, unlike everyone else in the Soviet Union, the scientists of Arzamas-16 are free to think and act, live and love as they wish, so long as they complete the project and prove to their capitalist enemies that the USSR now commands the heights of nuclear supremacy.
