The David Gann book? (Killer of the Flower Moon, birth of the FBI)
He’s an excellent author and does brilliant research. I’ve long been a podcast listener and heard him talk about the story in an interview he did here in 2018:
This was riveting (if slightly dry) listen because grew up in Texas and never heard about these murders or about the calculating evil betrayal their spouses engaged in.
When complex iffy legal treaties for land and mineral theft didn’t work the Osage spouses just outright slaughtered their Indian wives and family. All for oil and money tied to the then new industry. Insane.
Sad thing about the Gann book is it was started in 2014 but came out in 2017 just before the huge increase of True Crime podcasts so it was somewhat too early to the listening party.
The upcoming film adaptation due out this year might get more traction.
