Review

"The King of Methlehem is utterly compelling and so realistic that you may find yourself crashing -- scratching your arms and rubbing your bloodshot eyes when you finally put it down in the hour before dawn. Mark Lindquist has written a taut, stylish, and gritty thriller."

-- Jay McInerney

"The King of Methlehem is so brutal and honest I could feel my teeth falling out as I read it. With street-tough prose and astonishing human insight, Lindquist takes you deep inside the racing, arrhythmic hearts of tweekers, leaving you bleeding and jonesing for more."

-- Will Clarke, author of The Worthy and Lord Vishnu's Love Handles

"Mark Lindquist's fascinating walk on Tacoma's wild side is noir for those who came of age in the time of Nirvana."

-- Carol Wolper, author of Mr. Famous and The Cigarette Girl
