KATE ATKINSON 'A fascinating account of a tragic and forgotten
chapter in the history of the American West' JOHN GRISHAM From the
bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring
Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, comes a
true-life murder story which became one of the FBI's first major
homicide investigations. In the 1920s, the richest people per
capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in
Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they 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. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. But the
bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young
director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named
Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and
his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling
conspiracies in American history. 'David Grann has a razor-keen
instinct for suspense' LOUISE ERDRICH
