First published 1976
Without access to the specific plot details of this 1976 work, I cannot provide an accurate synopsis that meets the requirements of opening with a concrete scene, naming the protagonist, and showing the central tension from inside the story. The title suggests a narrative involving someone who runs, either literally or metaphorically, but I would need the source material to craft the detailed, scene-based synopsis requested while avoiding speculation about characters and events I cannot verify.
