SUMMARY:Open Book Club: Killers of the Flower Moon
DESCRIPTION:Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann | November 19th\nIn 
 the 1920s\, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the 
 Osage Indian 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.\nThen\, one by one\, they began to 
 be killed off. One Osage woman\, Mollie Burkhart\, watched as her family 
 was murdered. Her older sister was shot. Her mother was then slowly 
 poisoned. And it was just the beginning\, as more Osage began to die under 
 mysterious circumstances.\nIn this last remnant of the Wild West—where 
 oilmen like J. P. Getty made their fortunes and where desperadoes such as 
 Al Spencer\, “the Phantom Terror\,” roamed – virtually anyone who 
 dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death 
 toll surpassed more than twenty-four Osage\, the newly created F.B.I. took 
 up the case\, in what became one of the organization’s first major 
 homicide investigations. But the bureau was then notoriously corrupt and 
 initially bungled the case. Eventually 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 one of the 
 only Native American agents in the bureau. They infiltrated the region\, 
 struggling to adopt the latest modern techniques of detection. Together 
 with the Osage they began to expose one of the most sinister conspiracies 
 in American history.\nA true-life murder mystery about one of the most 
 monstrous crimes in American history.
