TRUTH UNVEILS WHY, WHO, AND HOW real-life Oscar Best Actress winner and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly Grimaldi was murdered . . . along with her brother and brother-in-law, who were slain a few hours and city blocks apart. Also discover the related FBI/CIA operation to take down Panamanian dictator, general, and drug kingpin Manuel Noriega.
AND FIND 50 PHOTOS of real-life characters and locales, including 30 color photos in the e-book.

JOIN GRACE'S BROTHER KELL AND HIS TRANS COMPANION Rachel Harlow. Dubbed "Philadelphia's famous transexual" by the press decades before LGBTQ+ support, Harlow was a regular guest on the nationally syndicated Mike Doulas television show. David Bowie credited her as "an influence during my androgynous stage."

HOW DID THE TRUTH ABOUT GRACE EMERGE? The author's father was the same age and grew up next door to dear friends Grace and her brother Kell in Philly's East Falls section. Those close enough to know what happened kept their mouths shut for reasons apparent in the story. "Readers Digest" asks "11 Unanswered Questions about Grace's Death." A Run to Hell answers them all and reveals more.
NORIEGA'S RELATED ACCOUNT ARRIVES from dual sources. Schofield's mentor in criminal law, Raymond J. Takiff, defended Noriega in U.S. courtrooms. Corroborating sources also whispered, namely: Schofield's clients associated with the Philly Mafia family, which the FBI declares was vicious even by Mafia standards.
AN EPILOGUE OFFERS PHOTOS AND TELLS what happened to real-life characters, who outlive the storyline.
IN PANAMA JAIME AND LEE will try avoiding soldiers of Manuel Noriega's "Battalions of Dignity" on a mission to terminate his dictatorship and drug trafficking into the United States through the Panama canal. Noriega's quasi-military force maintains his rule with imprisonment, violence, torture, sadistic rape, and murder of political opponents and foreign intruders.
