Synopsis: The Devil in the White City meets Pride and Prejudice in this romantic historical murder mystery set at the 1904 World&’s Fair. The St. Louis World&’s Fair, 1904: A miniature city of palaces and pavilions that becomes a backdrop for romance, betrayal—and murder. Cousins Grace and Lillie have been best friends since birth, despite Grace&’s vastly inferior social status ever since her mother married for love instead of wealth. When Lillie invites Grace to the biggest event of the century—the legendary World&’s Fair, also known as &“The Ivory City&”—Grace hopes her fortunes might be about to change. But when a member of their party is brutally killed at the fair, and suspicion falls on Lillie&’s brother Oliver, Grace must prove Oliver&’s innocence before her beloved cousins&’ family is ruined forever. Along the way, she'll discover that the city&’s wealthy elite—including Oliver&’s handsome but irritable friend Theodore—aren&’t quite who they appear to be. And amidst the glitz, glamor, and magic of the Ivory City lurks a danger that just may claim her life.
