The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson is a gripping work of narrative nonfiction that intertwines two haunting true stories set against the backdrop of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

Holmes, one of America's first documented serial killers, who used the fair's chaos to lure his victims.

The book paints a vivid picture of Gilded Age America, capturing both the brilliance of architectural achievement and the horror of unchecked evil operating in plain sight.
