GILDED AGE CHICAGO MYSTERIES
In the shadow of the 1893 World's Fair, Chicago is a city of soaring ambitions and deadly secrets. While the elite dwell in marble mansions, a darker world of corruption and crime festers in the back alleys of the metropolis. Follow a compelling female sleuth and a journalist with a sharp eye for detail as they uncover what Chicago's upper crust wants to keep buried. From the glittering ballrooms of the robber barons to the gritty reality of the labor riots, this series explores the high-stakes tension of a city on the brink of a new century. N. S. Wikarski weaves a rich, immersive tapestry of history and suspense that fans of The Alienist and The Devil in the White City won't be able to put down.
