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.
