Synopsis
With thousands flocking to Chicago for the Great Exposition of 1893, the city is confronting an onslaught of visitors, just when a maniacal killer sets out to turn the streets into his own personal hunting ground, and it is up to Inspector Alastair Ransom to find the bloodthirsty murderer amid the glitter and turmoil of the World's Fair, before he becomes the next victim. Original.

From the Inside Flap
Welcome to the world of Inspector Alastair Ransom, who carries the burden of the dead on his shoulders. But a demon far worse than Ransom's own is loose in his city; a bloodthirsty killer who preys on Chicago's most vulnerable citizens, his grisly handiwork masked by the glitter and fernzy of the World's Fair. Enter the oddly eccentric Dr.. James Phineas Tewes, a phrenologist who reads the contours of the scalp of the victim for his final moments. Ransom and Tewes are linked by this investigation, as there is no time to waste...for each passing hour brings the slayer closer to his next intended victim: Alastair Ransom
