Description

Twisting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history. 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. However, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off, their families targeted in a sinister conspiracy. 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, to expose the truth behind the Osage murders. This is a haunting and gripping account of one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. David Grann's meticulous research brings to light a dark period in American history, shedding light on the complex relationships between the Osage Nation and the authorities of the time.
