<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Can Inspector Wylde's daughter uncover the truth behind the disappearances at the Chicago World's Fair, or will she become the next victim of H. H. Holmes?<br /><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Mysterious Disappearances Taint the Chicago World's Fair</b><i>Step into True Colors -- a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime</i><br /><br /> 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.<br /><br /><i>Will she be able to expose H. H. Holmes's illicit activity, or will Winnifred become his next victim?</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>The White City</i> offers up a terrific adventure of murder and intrigue that transcends far beyond exotic exhibits and cotton candy at the Chicago World's Fair. The ebb and flow of the story was consistent in moving the story along at a nice clip without lending way to obvious predictability. Her timing was spot on when the spotlight was finally cast on the villain. Well done Ms. Hitchcock! I look forward to the next installment in this series.</p>-- (02/14/2019)<br><br>Hitchcock keeps the pace quick and tension high as the characters face dangers both physical and emotional. Readers will enjoy the snappy dialogue, vivid depictions of the famous World's Fair, and the surprising historical details.-- (01/28/2019)<br><br><p>"A delightful debut! Bursting with intrigue, romance, and historical tidbits that bring Chicago during the Gilded Age to vivid life, <i>The White City</i> is a story that's certainly destined for the keeper shelf."<br /> -Jen Turano, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author </p><p>"From the first sentence until the last, Hitchcock has crafted a tale that weaves in and out and all around, keeping me guessing until the final page was turned. <i>The White City</i> is a story I won't soon forget!"<br /> --Kathleen Y'Barbo, author of <i>The Alamo Bride, </i><i>The Pirate Bride</i> and <i>My Heart Belongs in Galveston, Texas</i> </p><br>
