Opis
本书讲述了一段具有传奇色彩的历史。20世纪20年代，在美国俄克拉何马州奥色治印第安人部落，发生了一系列神秘的谋杀案。经过调查，这一系列谋杀案与当地丰富的地下油气资源有关，而且牵扯到很多警察与政府官员。一个庞大的腐败之网渐渐浮出水面。这桩血案最终促使美国政府成立了一个全新的执法机构--联邦调查局（FBI）。
作者历时近十年创作此书，使用了大量此前未公开的资料文档，包括数以千页计的联邦调查局档案、法庭庭审记录、线人报告、私家侦探工作日志、假释与保释记录、遗嘱及监护人报告等，准确地还原了被美国政府长期掩盖的案件真相

This book kept me so engaged once I got past the first couple of chapters. It was told in a narrative style that made it so easy to forget you were reading nonfiction. My heart hurts for the Osage tribe and I can't believe I never learned about this is school. I also loved the Tom White arc. I do feel like the core of the story, which I believe to be about the Osage, got a little lost in this section but we came back to them in the final section. I saw someone else say that they wished they had a family tree, and I would have to agree but I can understand why that would be too difficult to include as an illustration because of how intertwined the families were.I'm already looking to pick up more David Grann books.
This had the bones of something really good but ultimately did not deliver on what it promised me. I found the narrative scattered and difficult to keep up with, constantly going off on tangents. Mostly though, I was promised the birth of the FBI and this fell far short of satisfying that. The content itself is really interesting but could have used better editing and continuity.
