Run Like Hell
Run Like hell. Run for your life. Don’t look back.
Carrie may or may not have killed her abusive boyfriend, Rory when she whacked him with a hammer to fend off a drunken attack. Either way, she has to get out of Vegas. She grabs a gun and a duffel bag filled with half a million dollars in stolen money, and she heads west, for L.A. When her car breaks down outside Yermo, California, in the Mojave Desert, she's forced to hide out in an old motel run by a lonely man and his teenage son. She's hurt, scared, and running out of time. Rory is alive, it turns out—and he's on her trail. So is the drug lord for whom Rory stole that money. Desperate scenarios like this rarely end well, for anyone.
From Josh Griffith—author of the Jason Chance mystery series (THIS LONELY TOWN, THIS SECRET TOWN, THIS FAITHLESS TOWN, and THIS ANGEL TOWN), the riveting suspense novels, THE LOST MAN and THE FORGOTTEN PLACE, and co-author (with Michael Malone) of the NY Times bestselling mystery, THE KILLING CLUB—comes an action-packed thriller that races like a bullet train toward a climax of breathless excitement and suspense.

Running from an abusive boyfriend that she might have killed with a hammer used in self defense, Carrie grabs a gun and a duffle bag filled with a whole lot of money.
What she doesn't realize is that the money is what her boyfriend stole from a drug lord. And he wants him money back ...now!
As luck has it, the boyfriend is not dead and he's fast on her trail.
It's a race to see who gets to her first .....
This is somewhat a different kind of crime thriller. Almost all the characters were not nice people .. mostly thugs, thieves, crooks, even murderers. Being a novella of 112 pages, this is easily read in one sitting. It's a rapid-paced, action-packed thriller. The ending was a bit of a disappointment, as there were unresolved issues ... but the journey to that point was highly suspenseful.
Many thanks to the author for the digital copy of RUN LIKE HELL. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
