Historic Chicago fair meets chilling serial killer tale.
Imagine being transported back to 1893 Chicago, where the grandeur of the World's Fair casts a shadow over darker deeds. This isn't just history; it's a compelling blend of triumph and terror. Erik Larson gives you front row seats to an architect's ambition and a killer's ruse, stitched together with a storyteller's flair. It's for the history buff and the thrill-seeker alike, with each page promising an intricate dive into an era glittered with innovation and marred by sinister secrets. With Larson's richly detailed narrative, the past feels ominously alive.
