• NOW A MARTIN SCORSESE PICTURE “A shocking whodunit…What more could fans of
true-crime thrillers ask?”—USA Today “A masterful work of literary journalism
crafted with the urgency of a mystery.” —The Boston Globe In the 1920s, the
richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in
Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage 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. The family of an
Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was
shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more
Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared
to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose,
the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar
Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the
mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American
agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose
one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. Look for David
Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager! Read more
