Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI
By David Grann
Published by Random House (NON-FICTION)

@cryptkeeper17 Review:

--Within the last one-hundred years you would think a story like this be impossible to occur within the United States. Systematic theft, corruption, abuse, of a government protected community in such a blatant manner. The Osage tribe, relocated to Oklahoma, had the fortune of crafting a great land deal allowing them to keep the fruits of their land, as they had seen other Indian tribes in the past become exploited and overrun by "wildcat" speculators.

--Grann does an amazing deed in setting the scenario for the fortunes that are bestowed upon the Osage people due to their ingenious, "actual" land ownership crafted by a shining light and dear friend to the Tribe. But eventually lack of respect of law, lack of respect of the most fundamental rights of the people making up the Osage Tribe of Oklahoma, turns into a horrifying series of the most heinous events captured on a massive scale in between World Wars in the United States. The mysterious settings are brought to light in a detailed, uber narration laid out by the victims to be, perpetrators, witnesses, and all that were directly effected in a genocidal atrocity so apparent that it gave birth to the fame and origin to the FBI and its director J. Edgar Hoover.

--David Grann's endeavor creates an awestruck curiosity, "How this case is not at the forefront of American History today during the period of the 1920-30's?" This book is very likely in development as a movie or mini-series based for television, it is that good and brilliantly set up in narration to do so. This is an absolute must read for anyone interested in US History, murder mystery novels, or just a brilliantly told story of true crime.
"A can't miss page turner that will drive your curiosity and is a forced empathy with the victims." -@cryptkeeper17
