Based on real characters and events, Devil in the White City is a riveting mystery set in Chicago in 1893. Architect Daniel Hudson Turnham — the builder behind New York City's Flatiron building and Washington, D.C.'s Union Station — was developing the 1893 World's Fair, bringing in talent, and turning the swamp area into an attraction. Meanwhile, a young doctor by the name of Henry H. Holmes was building the World's Fair Hotel right near the fairgrounds, where he would lure women into his torture chamber and murder them.
