Awarded the Edgar Award for best crime story and nominated for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for excellence in non-fiction
Now a major film production directed by Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro
An immersive true story of greed, serial murder, and racial injustice. A compelling tale and a painful exploration of evil. An intriguing narrative of a tragic and forgotten chapter in the history of the American West.
In the 1920s, the wealthiest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage tribe in Oklahoma. When oil was discovered beneath their land, they enjoyed luxury cars, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be murdered.
As the death toll rose, the FBI took over the case, but the investigation turned into a failure. In desperation, the Bureau's new director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger, Tom White, to uncover the truth. Along with the Osage and his secret team, they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
