A tragic true crime study of the Osage murder case. The tragic loss of many lives that were never fully brought to justice. Money the root of evil in this case and racial inequality and discrimination lead to this tragic trajectory of events. The outcry of these crimes and the fear that was created lead to the governments creation of the FBI. 

I learned a lot from this true crime book and enjoyed learning about not only the history of the FBI but the Osage people and the presidential corruption that occurred during these tragedies. I recommend this book to any true crime fan.

Wonderful journalism unveiling such a bonkers, terrifying, and important story. This book was well paced and organized, it kind of felt like reading a thriller in some ways, but no so much so that it felt disrespectful to the very real story being told. The way the details were drawn out to reveal a conspiracy so big and so sinister made the huge impact on the Osage feel immediate and haunting. History is made present in this book, and I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it!
