Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

by David Grann
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

Haunting history of wealth, murder, and investigation.

If you're intrigued by true crime and U.S. history, "Killers of the Flower Moon" will captivate you. David Grann delivers a thoroughly researched account that reads like a thriller, exposing deep-seated racial injustice alongside the birth of the FBI. It's a book that offers more than just a crime story—it's a window into a little-known chapter of American history, resonating with societal issues that are still relevant today.

Description

From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lost City of Z, a twisting, haunting 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. 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.
