What is is the climax in the devil in the white city by eric larson?

Well, the book was pretty amazing covering both a serial killer and a genius who designed the entire Chicago Worlds Fair in only two years. But I would have to say the climax of the book is the arrest of Holmes, the killer, as we watch throughout the book his deprivations mount. On the other hand, I was really swept up by Burnham's struggles to get the entire White City up in time. I suppose it depends on which character you were most drawn to while reading the book.
