A principios de la decada de 1920 los miembros de la nacion indigena de los Osage, en Oklahoma, se convirtieron en las personas mas ricas del mundo. Tras descubrirse enormes depositos de petroleo bajo su reserva, los Osage vivian en mansiones, vestian con pieles y joyas costosas, viajaban en automoviles con chofer y tenian sirvientes blancos. Pero pronto, los Osage comenzaron a desaparecer misteriosamente o a morir asesinados, uno tras otro. La familia de una mujer Osage, Mollie Burkhart, se convirtio en un objetivo principal. Sus tres hermanas fueron asesinadas. Una fue envenenada, otra murio a tiros y la tercera fallecio en una explosion. Otros miembros de la nacion Osage morian en circunstancias misteriosas, y muchos de los que se atrevieron a investigar los crimenes fueron tambien asesinados.A medida que aumentaba el numero de muertes, el recien creado FBI se hizo cargo del caso, y su joven director, J. Edgar Hoover, recurrio a miembro de los Texas Rangers llamado Tom White para tratar de descifrar el misterio. White armo un equipo clandestino, que incluia a un agente nativo-americano que se infiltro en la region, y junto con los Osage, comenzo a revelar una de las conspiraciones mas escalofriantes en la historia de los Estados Unidos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAN UPCOMING FILM DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESENEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lost City of Z, a twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history.A New York Times Notable BookNamed a best book of the year by Amazon, Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, GQ, Time, Newsday, Entertainment Weekly, Time Magazine, NPR, Vogue, Smithsonian, Cosmopolitan, Seattle Times, Bloomberg, Lit Hub, and Slate.In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage 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. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
