Killers of the Flower Moon

Killers of the Flower Moon Audiobook

Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma became one of the richest communities in the world when oil was discovered under their land. The family prospered within no time and they made their life luxurious.

Soon the people around them saw how those average family members started using luxurious vehicles and their children started going to elite schools in Europe. Everything was going fine for the family when out of nowhere a monstrous killer started killing the family members in different ways. Different schemes like poisoning and targeted killing were adopted to get the job done.

More than twenty members of the family were killed within a few months and this became a matter of great concern for Mollie Burkhart whose family was targeted more than anyone else. She knew that waiting for the police investigation was not the answer so she established a connection with the FBI and this was the first homicide case that the FBI took under consideration.

J. Edgar Hoover was the director of the department at that time and he hired a team with the help of Texas Ranger Tom White. The two also included the American Indian agent that was there in the department. Thus the investigation started which later ended in a big drama. David Grann has concentrated on fiction in The Lost City of Z and other books such as The Devil and Sherlock Holmes but not in this one. The author has taken an incident from real life which Will Patton, Danny Campbell, and Ann Marie Lee narrate. This is the case that started the new phase of the FBI investigation and reframed the department forever.
