About this listen

WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST FACT CRIME

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NON-FICTION

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION

A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE STARRING LEONARDO DICAPRIO

From the bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, comes a true-life murder story which became one of the FBI’s first major homicide investigations.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions and sent their children to study in Europe.

Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. But the bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

A great listen

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book, readers were great. The only reason for four stars was that I thought the ending was vague but then perhaps the actual hostility is vague

Superb narrators!

Poignant, insightful and well researched. I’m so glad this awful part of history has been brought to the fore, so important the Osage story is told.

Too long winded

Skipped many chapters, story was overly convoluted and digressed down rabbit holes to nowhere and facts became lost in hearsay, rumors and eventually concludes on information that could have been presented 20 chapters earlier.
