Just finished reading Devil in the White City (loved it). I plan on buying a copy of Isaac's Storm next. Any non Larson recommendations for good nonfiction books with a similar style?
I recently read The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diezel (Douglas Brunt) and thought it was similar.

Although not non fiction, if you loved Devil in the White City you should also really really enjoy The Alienist by Caleb Carr. It is all about the origins of forensic science. Later made into a series, but just an exceptional book!
