Really interesting book - combining the planning and building of the Chicago World's Fair in the late 1800's with the doings of a serial killer residing in the area at the same time. Interestingly, the stories work well together and provide a fascinating glimpse into the city's history. As a former Chicagoan and an architecture buff, this was a great read.
