About This Book

The Devil in the White City explores the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the ambitious architects and engineers who brought it to life.

Alongside this story of progress and spectacle runs a parallel account of a serial killer who used the fair to target victims.

The book blends documented history with the darker realities of urban growth and public events in nineteenth-century America.
