Fantastic account of one of the key events pushing America into the 20th century. The author blends a fascinating murder mystery/serial killer into the framework of the staging of the Columbian Exposition that makes this a book impossible to put down. Personal looks into the lives and motivation of the key players of the Exposition, as well as the mad serial killer, makes for truly compelling reading. A classic.
