In the 1920s, members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were among the richest people in the world because of oil found beneath their land. They rode in chauffeured cars, built mansions, and hired white servants. Then, one by one, the Osage beganto die under suspicious circumstances. In a series of crimes that expose the deep and deadly racism against Native Americans, the family of one woman, Millie Burkhart, became a prime target. As the Wild West was taking its last gasp, with oilmen making legendary fortunes and desperadoes hiding out in the hills, many who tried to track down the killers metthe same violent end. When the death toll surpassed twenty-four Osage, the FBI launched an investigation, in what was one of its first major cases. The bureau's young director, J. Edgar Hoover, called upon former Texas Ranger Tom White to handpick a team - including a Native American agent - to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage, they began to expose a chilling conspiracy. This yung readers' adaptation of the acclaimed adult bestseller by David Grann revisits these shocking crimes for a new generation. Based on years of research and startling evidence, this devastating story is an unforgettable masterpiece of narrative nonfiction.
