The Devil in the White City is gay

 Bro... 

each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work???

He admired Root’s white skin and muscular arms???

 like at this point just start making out?? like literally just start passionately kissing each other??? Go on several romantic dates??? Get married and have(citation needed) 4 kids??? write extensively about these events and publish a book about them??? give the first copy to me???

but yeah homosexuality is actually wrong and condomed by god i cant believe this i will go on a church mission tomorrow and talk to kids in Azerbaijan about how not pogchamp this is commit yourself to the lords love and not Root's muscular arms that would probably serve as a comfy pillow.
