The White City: A Novel of Murder at the Chicago World's FairIt is the year of our lord, 1893. The crackle of electricity's first sparks, the mechanical whine of Ferris's wheel, the tinkling of crystal from the majestic city atop the hill the sounds of a new era pervade the air as the century's last World's Fair commences in Chicago. But darkness lurks beneath the metropolis so austere it has been dubbed the White City. Strikes loom on the horizon, racism runs rampant, and a murderer unlike any America has ever

It is the year of our lord, 1893. The crackle of electricity's first sparks, the mechanical whine of Ferris's wheel, the tinkling of crystal from the majestic city atop the hill--the sounds of a new era pervade the air as the century's last World's Fair commences in Chicago.

But darkness lurks beneath the metropolis so austere it has been dubbed the White City. Strikes loom on the horizon, racism runs rampant, and a murderer unlike any America has ever seen before is on the loose, terrorizing the city. His crimes are so brutal, newspapers have christened him the Husker. Hiding behind the cloak of a city in chaos, he taunts his pursuers, littering the grounds of the fair with the corpses of children as he slips through the shadows.

Dr. Elizabeth Handley, the first forensic psychologist of her kind, has been called in to capture the killer, but when the son of prominent architect William Rockland goes missing, the case takes on an entirely new urgency. In this city of bombastic politics and cutthroat egos, everyone has his own agenda, but time is running out. As she races to save the boy, Dr. Handley fights to maintain her sanity as the line between captor and quarry blurs, and violence casts its spell.

From the depths of the seediest brothels to the pristine enclaves of the elite, The White City is a strange, beguiling first novel, a thriller that masterfully blends fact and fiction. An exhilarating voyeur's glimpse at Chicago in all its glory, it also probes the dark side that was never far from its core.

I love SPF 15
I love the SPF 15, but it is so hard to find in stores. I love that I could get it on Amazon!

Only SPF 15. Best For Overcast Days or Less Exposure.
I love Coppertone Sport sunscreens because they stay on longer than many and don't drip painful lotion into my eyes when I sweat. This spray-on version is only SPF 15, so, as a fair person, I can use it in direct sun only for 30-60 minutes of exposure or if I'm outside during an overcast day when, yes, I can still burn. SPF blocks 93% of the sun's rays, which sounds like a lot until you consider that SPF 50 blocks 98% of the rays. Sprays like this are especially useful if I'm by myself and need to reach difficult places such as my back. For the rest of me, I spray my skin, then rub in for complete coverage. For my face and neck, I spray into my hands, then apply to those areas. You don't want to spray directly on your face when you can inhale it or get it in your eyes. If you don't have sun-sensitive skin or don't expect to be in direct sunlight for long, then this is a great option for easy application. Just make sure you apply enough of it and reapply throughout the day. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Summer Essential at great price
Great deal ahead of the summer sun. Product was the perfect match for my golf trip. Felt like it held up even in the heat and sweaty environment.

Great sunburn protection for beach days
Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sunscreen Lotion 70 SPF, Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you burn easily like I do, this sunscreen is an absolute lifesaver. I used it during a full day out in the intense sun and beach heat, and it protected my skin perfectly—not a single spot of redness! What I love most is that it works beautifully for both the face and body. It applies smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave that heavy, suffocating white cast that a lot of high-SPF sunscreens do. It also handles sweat and water incredibly well without running into my eyes and stinging. It has a nice, subtle beachy scent that isn’t overpowering. This is officially my go-to sunscreen for outdoor activities!
