Devil in the White City is a book by Erik Larson that tells the story of 2 men "Their fates were linked by the magical Chicago World’s Fair of 1893, nicknamed the “White City” for its majestic beauty. Architect Daniel Burnham built it; serial killer Dr. H. H. Holmes used it to lure victims to his World’s Fair Hotel, designed for murder. Both men left behind them a powerful legacy, one of brilliance and energy, the other of sorrow and darkness." This is an awesome tale weaving 2 stories together. The mast incredible thing about the story is that it is all true.
This story is ripe to be made into a film. I recently asked David Fincher if he had any intrest in adapting it his response was brief and to the point "I would need to see a screenplay". For more info visit here:

I hope to see this on the big screen soon.
