The nation and the world gaze in awe at Chicago's magnificent ''White City'' in this summer of 1893. But Inspector Alastair Ransom sees the rot beneath the splendor of the great Exposition and he is consumed with an over-powering need for vengeance. ''The Phantom of the Fair,'' a blood-thirsty fiend who nearly added Ransom to his ever-growing list of slaughtered victims, is still lurking somewhere in the shadows of Ferris's gargantuan Wheel. And to end the maniac's reign, Ransom refuses to play by the rules established by the police brass and the corrupt politicians appointing himself judge, jury . . . and executioner.
But white-hot hatred and zealous fury can blind a determined manhunter to a more terrible truth. And dangerous missteps may lead to even greater bloodshed . . .
