Yelapa writer Robert Hardin announces the release of Manson Retrial, the latest novel in the popular David Armstrong, criminal attorney, series.
In this book Armstrong decides Charles Manson's famous murder trial was a miscarriage of justice and volunteers to seek a new trial for him.
The petition is granted and during Armstrong's first visit with Manson he tells Manson he doesn't care if he's factually guilty or not. "No one should be convicted on the sparse evidence that was presented against you in the first trial."
Manson says, "I really didn't have anything to do with those murders. If I was a charismatic cult leader who could command followers to kill for me, do you think I would've let that fool prosecutor live?"
That "fool prosecutor" comes out of retirement to prosecute the new trial. Desperate to save his reputation, he is pitted against Armstrong, one of the most skillful defense lawyers in the country. The question of Charles Manson's freedom depends on the outcome of this dramatic courtroom battle.
Robert Hardin and his wife, Kathryn, live year round in their beach house in Yelapa, a small village fifteen miles south of Puerto Vallarta accessible only by boat. Manson Retrial is Hardin's sixth novel since their move from Northern California in January, 2005.
All of Hardin's novels, including Manson Retrial, are available on amazon.com and through bookstores in the U.S. and Canada. Some are available in the Puerto Vallarta area at the NV Bookstore in the Paradise Shopping Center, a Page in the Sun on Olas Altas in Old Town, and at Biblioteca Los Mangos on Ave Francisco Villa.

 Kathryn and Robert Hardin moved from northern California in January 2005 to a beach house in Yelapa where they live year-round with their two black cats, a canary and a tiny finch. They have no second home in the U.S. and are proud to say "there is no storage." Yelapa is their home and they have never been happier. |
