The white city

While attending the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 Winnifred Wylde believes she witnessed a woman being kidnapped. She tries to convince her father an inspector with the Chicago police to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City. Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question—if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe a policeman for bodyguard. Will she be able to expose H. H. Holmes’s illicit activity or will Winnifred become his next victim?
