For a literary trip, head to Fairfield

It’s not often that a literary reading/signing is paired with a museum tour. But that’s exactly what’s happening tonight in Fairfield, Wash .

Tim and Beck Hattenburg, co-authors of “Death Ride: A Little Boy’s Night of Terror,” will read from their book at 7 tonight at the Fairfield Library, 305 E. Main St., in Fairfield (just off Highway 27, some 30 miles south of Spokane).

The Hattenbergs’ book details events that occurred on a wintry night in 1937 when a man murdered the parents of then-5-year-old Larry Kuntz. The boy survived a brutal beating to finger the killer, who later was hanged.

Following the reading, attendees will be invited to go next door and tour Fairfield’s newly remodeled museum .

The reading and tour, which includes refreshments, are free and open to the public.
