Description

A shocking true-life murder mystery unfolds in the 1920s, as the richest people per capita in the world, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma, are targeted for death. The investigation that follows reveals a chilling conspiracy that exposes the darkest aspects of American history. The Osage family, who had become incredibly wealthy after oil was discovered beneath their land, were suddenly and brutally murdered, with many more dying under mysterious circumstances. The newly created FBI took up the case, and young director J. Edgar Hoover turned to a former Texas Ranger, Tom White, to unravel the mystery. As the death toll rose, an undercover team, including a Native American agent, was assembled to expose the truth. This gripping true-crime story is a masterful work of literary journalism that sheds light on one of the most monstrous crimes in American history.
