There are so many corners of history that tend to get swept under the rug and forgotten, and this one's a doozy. When oil wealth made the Osage nation filthy rich, tribe members began to die at a rate far greater than the national average. Grann tells the story of how and why it happened (short version: jealousy and racism), and how the nascent FBI tackled the case (and in some ways, dropped the ball). Grann is clear and organized and engaging as he lays out the players and the progress of the investigations.
