Robert Alton Harris (January 15, 1953–April 21, 1992) was an American career criminal and murderer who was executed in San Quentin's gas chamber in 1992.

Robert Alton Harris was executed on April 21 1992 in the gas chamber at San Quentin State Prison - the first execution in California in 25 years.

 michael specter--review--archangel
So we have to be at least a little thankful to Robert Harris, who in his new novel, ''Archangel,'' has given those of us who retain some literary nostalgia for the Evil Empire exactly what we have been waiting for: a thriller about the bad old days set in the deep, gray present.
In his previous work, most notably his 1992 novel ''Fatherland,'' in which Hitler triumphed and Nazism lives, Harris mapped out as his special terrain the effects that the 20th century's great villains have had on the world; I am sorry to report it's a subject that never seems to lose its resonance.
Harris has drawn a rude collection of characters: they are boorish, obtuse, ignorant, vulgar and gloriously pretentious.
