WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST FACT CRIME, SHORTLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NON-FICTION, AND THE CWA ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION. **SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE STARRING LEONARDO DICAPRIO AND ROBERT DE NIRO.** Described as a riveting true story of greed, serial murder, and racial injustice, this account delves into a tragic and overlooked chapter in American history. In the 1920s, the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma became incredibly wealthy after oil was discovered beneath their land. They enjoyed luxurious lifestyles, but their prosperity soon turned deadly as members of the Osage began to be murdered. The rising death toll prompted the FBI to investigate, but their efforts were initially disastrous. In a bid to resolve the case, J. Edgar Hoover enlisted former Texas Ranger Tom White to lead the inquiry. Alongside the Osage people, White and his undercover team uncovered one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. With a razor-keen instinct for suspense, the author brings to light a harrowing tale that intertwines mystery and the exploration of evil, making it a compelling read that captures the complexities of this dark period.
