Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David GrannMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
OMG, what a riveting audiobook, awesomely narrated by: Will Patton , Ann Marie Lee , Danny Campbell. Grann's nonfiction book deals with the mystery of many Osage Indian deaths during the 1920s and 1930s in Oklahoma. When oil is discovered under their land, the Osage become rich and the targets of unsavory men, business men and racism in law enforcement, in the white community, and politics. How people could do this to anyone, much less the Osage Indian is despicable. Grann thoroughly researches the Osage Indian history, culture, community and what the "reign of Terror" did to them. The honesty and diligence of Tom White, a former Texas Ranger who is appointed by J. Edgar Hoover to solve the 24 Osage murders marks the beginning of the FBI. A must read! My thanks to Pat Graham for recommending this book!
