A reporter and an ex-baseball-player-turned-cameraman search for a mysterious runner in this page-turning mystery inspired by a real-life Boston Marathon legend. In 1951 a group of Canadian runners insisted they saw a woman sneak into the 1951 Boston Marathon, when women were forbidden to run. If true, that would make her the first woman to run a marathon on American soil. She wore "red," as claimed by the Canadian runners who say they tried to bring the matter to the attention of race officials. But to no avail, their contention was never proven, and so today the "Runner in Red" remains a mystery and an urban legend. A period piece set against the backdrop of the 2000 Boston Marathon, the Millennial marathon, "Runner in Red' is fictional mystery novel as well as a love story, family drama and uplifting tale of the human spirit that explores the history of women's running in page-turning fashion. The authori is contributing proceeds to support a cure for lung cancer which takes the lives of more women than any other cancer. See runnerinred.com for full details.
