PAUL SCHRAG: THIS BOOK IS ABOUT REALITY, FOLKS >>>

Tacoma deputy prosecutor Mark Lindquist will read his masterwork, The King of Methlehem, for the last time this year at 2 p.m. at Borders Books.

In 2004, Lindquist was named trial team chief of the drug unit for the Prosecuting Attorney in Pierce County â€" perfect preparation for King of Methlehem, which chronicles the anti-tweaker crusade of Detective Wyatt James. The book is replete with T-town references, showcasing the ugliness right alongside the stuff we all know and love.
