The Devil In the White City
by Larson, Erik
A captivating non-fiction book that tells the parallel stories of two men during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Architect Daniel Burnham struggles to construct the grand fairgrounds known as the White City, while Dr. H.H. Holmes, a charismatic serial killer, preys on vulnerable women in his infamous "Murder Castle." Larson skillfully weaves together the contrasting narratives, highlighting the achievements of the fair and the horrors committed by Holmes. This gripping tale explores themes of ambition, power, and the dark side of human nature, providing a fascinating glimpse into a significant moment in American history.
