Dark Hearts of Chicago

By WILLIAM HORWOOD & HELEN RAPPAPORT

Hutchinson, 2007

A collaboration with the novelist William Horwood, this historical

thriller is set in Chicago during the World Fair of 1893

‘The razzmatazz of the [World’s] Fair is colourful, the feminist heroine attractive...the description of the nineteenth-century Chicago is atmospheric... an excellent if unexpected thriller.’

Literary Review

‘The short chapters and tight plot invoke a cold

dread in the reader from the very beginning.’

Lucy Davies, Daily Telegraph

‘With a strong plot and a vividly-created picture

of the era, there’s more than a whiff of Gang’s of

New York...and you know how good that was.’

Daily Sport

‘Combining the pace and excitement of a Dan Brown

book, with exhaustive research that takes you deep

into the bold, corrupt world of Chicago, this is a big

doorstep of a treat.’
