Oil, Money, Murder and the Birth of the FBI
David Grann - 2023-10-10 (publicado por primera vez en 2017)
Calificación de Goodreads
En los años veinte, la comunidad india osage de Oklahoma era la población de mayor renta per cápita del mundo. El petróleo que yacía bajo sus propiedades les convirtió en millonarios: construyeron mansiones, tenían chóferes privados y mandaban a sus hijos a Europa. Pero un espiral de violencia asoló esta comunidad cuando sus miembros empezaron a morir envenenados y a desaparecer en extrañas circunstancias. Cuando el número de muertos alcanzó los veinticuatro, el recién inaugurado FBI decidió intervenir. En uno sus primeros grandes casos de homicidio, la investigación fue una chapuza y, en un recurso a la desesperada, el joven director J. Edgar Hoover acudió al antiguo comandante de Texas, Tom White, para que desvelase el misterio. White estableció un equipo infiltrado, incluyendo a un agente nativo en el grupo. En este apasionante true crime, que Martin Scorsese y Leonardo DiCaprio llevarán a la gran pantalla, se revelan nuevos secretos de una de las conspiraciones más siniestras contra la comunidad indígena de Estados Unidos. Como ya hizo en Z, la ciudad perdida, Grann se sumerge en una profunda y exhaustiva investigación para desvelar uno de los episodios más oscuros y despiadados de la Historia norteamericana.
