The Devil in the White City
The Devil in the White City
Well Kept (Good)
Erik Larson intertwines the creation of Chicago’s 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition with the crimes of H. H. Holmes, who operated nearby during the fair’s construction and opening. Drawing on historical records, the book follows architect Daniel Burnham’s struggle to build the dazzling White City while tracing the darker opportunities created by a rapidly growing city. The result is a work of narrative history shaped by ambition, innovation, civic spectacle, deception, and murder.
