Résumé
Osage County, Oklahoma, in the 1920s was where the richest people per capita in the world were to be found. The reason ? Oil. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage Indians had untold wealth. Then, one by one, they began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target, her relatives shot or poisoned. And, as the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case and began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
Based on years of research.and startling new evidence, this is a masterpiece of narrative non-fiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. Killers of the Flower Moon is utterly compelling, but also emotionally devastating.

“ Beware of buried treasure ! ”
The botanical metaphor of this spellbinding work of investigation is an extremely apt means of portraying the sinister dynamic characterizing the relations between the newly wealthy Osage Indians and their white American oppressors who exploit the vulnerability of their wards with shocking impunity. This book will interest a wide public : the status of Native Americans in the twentieth America as well as the growth of the nascent FBI under the rule of a young and relentless J Edgar Hoover are two topics treated with bravado, leaving the reader shocked and disturbed by the extent of corruption present in local law enforcement agencies in Oklahoma, at the expense of the Osage people's welfare. A haunting testimony of an encounter between cultures through a glass darkly.
