The devil in the white city : murder, magic, and madness at the fair that changed America / Erik Larson (2004 non-fiction, 364.1523 Larson)
A compelling account of the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 brings together the divergent stories of two very different men who played a key role in shaping the history of the event–visionary architect Daniel H. Burnham, who coordinated its construction, and Dr. Henry H. Holmes, an insatiable and charming serial killer who lured women to their deaths.
