The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson intertwines the true stories of two men: Daniel H. Burnham, the architect behind the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims. Larson masterfully weaves together history, architecture, and true crime to create a gripping and chilling narrative. This book offers a unique perspective on the dark side of progress and ambition.
