After Emily Cabot is expelled from the University of Chicago, she finds work at Hull House, established by Jane Addams. There she quickly becomes involved in the political and social problems of the immigrant community. But when a man who works for a sweatshop owner is murdered in the Hull House parlour, Emily must determine whether one of her colleagues is responsible, or whether the real reason for the murder is revenge for a past tragedy in her own family. As a smallpox epidemic spreads, Emily finds herself in jeopardy from both the deadly disease and a killer.

George Pullman created an ideal community for his railroad car workers, complete with every amenity they could want or need. But when hard economic times hit in 1894, lay-offs follow and the workers can no longer pay their rent or buy food at the company store. Starving and desperate, they turn against their once benevolent employer. Emily Cabot and her friend Dr. Stephen Chapman bring much needed food and medical supplies to the town, hoping they can meet the immediate needs of the workers and keep them from resorting to violence. But when one young worker--suspected of being a spy--is murdered, and a bomb plot comes to light, Emily must race to discover the truth behind a tangled web of family and company alliances.--Page 4 of cover.

Emily Cabot, one of the first female graduate students at the University of Chicago, invites her mother and brother to join her in the city to attend the 1893 World's Fair, along with her teacher Dr. Stephen Chapman. At the fair, Chapman turns pale as a ghost when he runs into a woman who turns out to be an old flame. When her husband is killed and Chapman is found by the body, it is up to Emily and a rotating cast of advisers - some recognizable from history, some not - to free him.
