A principios de la d�cada de 1920 los miembros de la naci�n ind�gena de los Osage, en Oklahoma, se convirtieron en las personas m�s ricas del mundo. Tras descubrirse enormes dep�sitos de petr�leo bajo su reserva, los Osage viv�an en mansiones, vest�an con pieles y joyas costosas, viajaban en autom�viles con chofer y ten�an 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 convirti� en un objetivo principal. Sus tres hermanas fueron asesinadas. Una fue envenenada, otra muri� a tiros y la tercera falleci� en una explosi�n. Otros miembros de la naci�n Osage mor�an en circunstancias misteriosas, y muchos de los que se atrevieron a investigar los cr�menes fueron tambi�n asesinados. A medida que aumentaba el n�mero de muertes, el reci�n creado FBI se hizo cargo del caso, y su joven director, J. Edgar Hoover, recurri� a miembro de los Texas Rangers llamado Tom White para tratar de descifrar el misterio. White arm� un equipo clandestino, que inclu�a a un agente nativo-americano que se infiltr� en la regi�n, y junto con los Osage, comenz� a revelar una de las conspiraciones m�s escalofriantes en la historia de los Estados Unidos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE ADAPTED FILM, DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE NEW 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.

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.
