His book, Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, was No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. His critically-acclaimed book, The Devil in the White City, intertwines the stories of the Chicago 1893 World’s Fair and one of America’s worst serial killers. It remained on the New York Times Bestseller list for a combined total of over six years, won an Edgar Award for nonfiction crime writing, and was nominated for the National Book Award. Larson’s books will be available for purchase from City Books at the lecture. Attendees may also bring their own book. Continued on next page > MT. LEBANON ❘ SPRING 2019 47
