For over 20 years, the Osage were repeatedly stripped of their land to make way for white settlers. Looking for a new home, the Osage bought an area of what would become Oklahoma that no one else wanted; no one but the Osage knew there was oil under that rocky soil, but they leased the land to prospectors and made millions. Again, the federal government contrived a premise to make a claim on the fortune. Then, over the course of four years, Osage tribal members and question-asking whites were murdered. To solve the murders, the fledgling F.B.I., headed by a young J. Edgar Hoover, stepped in with a sophisticated strategy and team to solve the crime. When Grann reveals the mastermind behind the murders, you will not see it coming; he illuminates a sickening conspiracy that will sear your soul. New members always welcome. Copies of the current book are available at the Ask Here Desk while supplies last.
