Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
$17.71 online at Bookshop.org
In the 1920s, after oil was found beneath their land, members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were among the richest people per capita in the world. Then, one by one, they began to be killed. Mollie Burkhart's family became a prime target: a relative shot, another poisoned, and more Osage dying under mysterious circumstances. Those who dared investigate were often murdered themselves. As the toll rose, the newly created FBI took the case. Young director J. Edgar Hoover turned to former Texas Ranger Tom White, who built an undercover team, including a Native American agent, and with the Osage exposed one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
