The Harder They Come is a novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle published in March 2015. It is loosely based on events in the life of Aaron Bassler, who, like Adam Stensen in the novel, was the subject of a manhunt in Mendocino County, California for 36 days in 2011.[1][2]
- ^ Like Adam Stensen in the novel, Aaron Bassler murdered two people in Mendocino County, attacked the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco, and crashed his truck into some tennis courts at a middle school.
