In the 1920s, the richest group of people in America were the members of the Osage Indian Tribe, who lived in Oklahoma. And then they began to turn up murdered or missing. Because it appeared that local law enforcement was corrupt, the FBI was called in. They bungled much of the investigations as well. This is really old school detective work. Fingerprinting was a NEW technology. Grann's work reads like a novel and for me was an interesting follow-up after reading The Bear River Massacre.
Students ask for True Crime books all the time. This is a great addition to the genre.
