From the bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller, Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland, and the Number One international bestseller The Wager, 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.

Este o lectura captivanta si profunda, care aduce in prim-plan o poveste dramatica si adesea ignorata din istoria Americii. Acesta exploreaza masacrele de pe teritoriul Osage din Oklahoma in anii 1920, cand membrii tribului Osage, care devenisera extrem de bogati datorita descoperirii petrolului pe pamantul lor, au fost vizati de o serie de crime brutale. Grann reconstituie aceste evenimente cu o cercetare meticuloasa, oferind cititorilor o intelegere profunda a coruptiei, inegalitatilor rasiale si a razbunarii sistematice. Cartea combina o investigatie reala cu o poveste captivanta despre eroism, tradare si nedreptate. Este o lectura potrivita pentru oricine este interesat de istoria ascunsa a Americii si de impactul rasismului sistemic asupra comunitatilor indigene.
