520    Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen 
       work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that 
       characterized America's rush toward the twentieth century.
       The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair's 
       brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the
       country's most important structures, including the 
       Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in 
       Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young
       doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built 
       his "World's Fair Hotel" just west of the fairgrounds₇a 
       torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber,
       and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous 
       obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of 
       Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and 
       others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White 
       City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair 
       and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women 
       to their deaths. What makes the story all the more 
       chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds 
       of that dream city by the lake. The Devil in the White 
       City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, 
       made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-
       life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser,
       Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis 
       Ferdinand, and others. In this book the smoke, romance, 
       and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before. 
       Erik Larson's gifts as a storyteller are magnificently 
       displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, 
       the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.
