yeah good call i fucked the title
and the author has another book out, about a murderer and the telegraph i think
i should read it
and AAP, the book intertwines two plots
the main plot is the 1892 (i think?) world expo that was held in chicago and it's effects on the city and those that made it happen
the secondary plot is about a shady doctor who scams, cheats, and murders his adversaries and family. sick fuck and it's non-fiction guaranteed you'd dig
