Interesting read - I hadn't heard of the Osage murders before, despite having studied some Oklahoma native history. I can't say I'm surprised about the racism, greed, and systematic corruption here, but it is a harrowing reminder of how something like this could happen and how far the cover up could go. It's not surprising that the US government did nothing about all of the other suspicious deaths here - I'm actually surprised that the investigation went as far as it did in solving these murders.

Despite being about the Osage murders, there wasn't really too much here about the Osage tribe, but more about the story of the investigation. Still, somehow I didn't really see much in this book about the birth of the FBI either. It could have either been a much longer or a much shorter book. Still I'm glad I picked up and read this book.
