Das Verbrechen

In the 1920s, it was not the inhabitants of New York or Paris who had the highest per capita income: the richest people in the world were the Osage Indians in the American state of Oklahoma. The barren land that had been allocated to them as a reservation contained gigantic oil deposits. But the wealth did not bring happiness to the Osage: a mysterious series of murders began, to which dozens of tribe members were to fall victim. The Osage murders became the first major case for the fledgling FBI. But corruption and greed for money had already taken hold here, too. Only a group of undercover agents finally succeeds in solving this probably darkest and most spectacular series of murders in the history of the USA.Awarded the world's most important crime award Edgar Award in the category Best Fact Crime.New York Times bestseller.
