Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

True Life Murder Mystery

This book is haunting. It covers the deaths of at least 24, but in reality many more, members of the Osage Indian Nation in Oklahoma, the richest people per capita in the world, at that time. No horror novella could possibly mirror the horrendous crimes that were visited upon the Osage Indian Nation in the 1920's. The catastrophic bungling of crime evidence, the leaks and sabotage, and the willful insidious behavior by unscrupulous individuals is mind-boggling. A good nonfiction book will read as fast as a good piece of fiction, all the while imparting new knowledge to the reader and this book is no exception.
