The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781410455765)

"Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America's rush toward the twentieth century. Daniel Hudson Burnham, a renowned architect, was the brilliant director of works for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor, was the satanic murderer of scores of young women in a torture palace built for the purpose near the fairgrounds"--page 4 of cover.
