Run to Hell . . . But have Godspeed

Run from Hell . . . That's What You'll Need

A STRONG WOMAN AND MAN, an immigrant FBI Special Agent and a criminal lawyer, have troubled pasts propelling them. Their stories reveal the true-to-life Mafia murders of Best Actress Oscar winner and Monaco Princess Grace Kelly, her brother, and brother-in-law . . . and the connected FBI/CIA joint operation to take down Panamanian dictator and drug kingpin Manuel Noriega.


SPRINT from South Philadelphia to Monaco, Miami, the Everglades, the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, and Panama. Descend into the world of the notorious Philadelphia Mafia family, which the FBI declares was vicious even by Mafia standards. And wonder whether a mob capo is covering your back or looking to whack you.  It all  comes from former criminal trial lawyer Frederick Schofield, whose familial and professional ties to the storyline are disclosed.


PICTURES AND VIDEOS show real-life faces and places as you dash through pleasure reading for any beach, hearth, or comfort zone.

Murdering Grace Kelly

Hit Arrow below with Volume On

Murder Her Brother and Brother-in-Law

JOIN GRACE KELLY'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 This Come to Schofield?

GRACE KELLY AND HER BROTHER KELL grew up next door to the author's father in Philly's East Falls section. They were forever friends.  And the few folks close enough to know what actually happened to the Kelly family wisely kept their mouths shut.  


READERS DIGEST asks  "11 Unanswered Questions" about Grace Kelly Grimaldi's death. The article has run for years in print and online in at least two different versions without offering answers. This book answers every question and reveals more.


MANUEL NORIEGA'S  CHRONICLE, like Grace's account, comes from multiple sources. Frederick Schofield's mentor in criminal law, Raymond J. Takiff, Esquire, defended Noriega in U.S, courts. Ray's unusal story is touched upon in the pages of this book.


CORROBERATING SOURCES also whispered about the Kellys and Noriega, namely lawyer Schofield's clients associated with the Philadelphia Mafia family, which the FBI declares was vicious even by Mafia standards.


AN EPILOGUE OFFERS PHOTOS AND TELLS what happened to the real-life characters, who outlive the storyline.

A Great Way to Get Away. You can lose yourself in seedy back alleys or the opulence of Monaco, while experiencing the horror of the tyrant, who was Manuel Noriega, from a safe distance.

“A Story That Packs A Punch.  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.”

It's a wonderful book to take to the beach. Read it on a cruise and couldn't put this one down. A great story by a lawyer who has inside dope on Grace Kelly, Manual Noriega, and the Philadelphia Mafia family.
