Kowloon Walled City

The Devil in the White City
This is a weird, unique book. It’s non-fiction but written like a Sherlock Holmes novel. Set around the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, it tells the stories of two men: Daniel H. Burnham, the architect responsible for the fair's construction, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer masquerading as a charming doctor.
