KEN ARMSTRONG & JONATHAN MARTIN at Seattle Public Central Library

11/19/2010 7:00 pm

Presented by The Seattle Times. The Seattle Times' coverage of Maurice Clemmons' ambush slaying of four Lakewood police officers garnered a 2010 Pulitzer Prize. In a new book built from that coverage and developed further, The Other Side of Mercy: A Killer's Journey Across the American Divide (Seattle Times), Times reporters Ken Armstrong and Jonathan Martin tell a story about this country's racial divide, the political risks of mercy, and missed opportunities. "Ken Armstrong and Jonathan Martin went far beyond the headlines in The Other Side of Mercy ... What emerges from their research is not just a snapshot of a remorseless killer, but a portrait of a man careening towards destruction and how he was helped along the way by a cast of unwitting accomplices ... Solidly researched and brilliantly written, the book is a real heartbreaker." - Robert Ferrigno. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Microsoft Auditorium of the Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison and Spring). For more information, please see www.spl.org or call (206) 386-4636.
