Discussion of "Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson

Participate in a discussion of Erik Larson's best-selling book, Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair that Changed America.  The lure of Daniel Burnham's grand 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago (dubbed the White City) is juxtaposed against the sinister World's Fair Hotel, which lured unsuspecting young women to serial killer, Dr. H. H. Holmes.
