The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America

Historic Chicago fair meets chilling serial killer tale.

Imagine being transported back to 1893 Chicago, where the grandeur of the World's Fair casts a shadow over darker deeds. This isn't just history; it's a compelling blend of triumph and terror. Erik Larson gives you front row seats to an architect's ambition and a killer's ruse, stitched together with a storyteller's flair. It's for the history buff and the thrill-seeker alike, with each page promising an intricate dive into an era glittered with innovation and marred by sinister secrets. With Larson's richly detailed narrative, the past feels ominously alive.
