One sentence synopsis... After oil deposits were found under their land, several Osage Native Americans mysteriously started dying and the newly formed FBI took the case.

Read it if you like... real-life murder mysteries like ‘I'll Be Gone in the Dark' or ‘The Devil in the White City'. The true story is captivating but Grann's writing is more dry journalism than sensational storytelling.

Dream casting... Scorsese is adapting with De Niro (presumably as the mastermind behind the murders) and DiCaprio (as Agent White, the FBI investigator).
