Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann. A horrific chapter of American history show-casing the government’s handling of the Osage Native American tribe in Kansas and how a series of murders caught the eye of J. Edgar Hoover who had just been appointed director of the recently formed F.B.I. These murders involve conspiracies, deception, mysteries and suspense and would be a test for Hoover’s agents, but in the end they would prevail. (No spoilers here!) From what I have read, the author spent years meticulously researching FBI files, court testimonies, field reports, diary entries and more.
