This book investigates the countless murders of the Osage tribe in Oklahoma in the 1920's. The Osage members became rich for the oil discovered beneath their land, and they were very rich. It focuses on the family of Mollie Burkhart, as she watched several family members die mysteriously before their time. The case was taken up by the FBI and its young first director, J. Edgar Hoover. He hired a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to solve the crimes and make the newly formed FBI look good.
This is a true story, and it is scary to see how many murders and heinous crimes are committed in order to steal the Osage's money.
