The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

Utterly compelling. I picked this up because people said it's nonfiction that reads like a novel, and that's pretty close to the mark. I needed to find out what happened next, and I was fully invested in the personal stories. At times I was astonished at developments, and throughout I kept wondering how I'd never heard about any of this.
I highly recommend reading this to learn about the Osage nation, their paradoxical luck (good and bad) at the hands of the U.S. government, and the investigation of what was happening to them. You can find it all from other sources, but Grann does an amazing job of storytelling, and extends the story with additional research that connects points left unexplored by the original case.
