Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Mayhem at the Fair that Changed America
Author Erik Larson illuminates the incredible events surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's Fair by combining the stories of an architect and a killer into one completely fascinating book: The Devil in the White City.
The magical appeal and horrifying dark side of 19th-century Chicago are both revealed through Larson's skillful writing in Devil in the White City.
“A dynamic, enveloping book that relentlessly fuses history and entertainment to give this nonfiction book the dramatic effect of a novel ... It doesn’t hurt that this truth is stranger than fiction.” -- The New York Times
