5.0 out of 5 stars for A Story That Packs A Punch. I needed a read that would help me escape these troubled times. I found it in A Run To Hell. The characters are a mélange of gritty, flawed, but relatable actors. Schofield shows us humanity in the face of horror, but the emotional journey never slows the pace of the action. . .. Highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars. The book moved quickly. . .. Being an OC (Organized Crime) buff, I loved every minute of it.
