Running From Strangers
Free-spirited Allie Hudson knew there might be consequences to her behavior, but frequently chose to ignore them leaving childhood sweetheart Beck Williams to take the blame. Because he loved her, it was an arrangement that suited them both.

Until someone died and Allie disappeared.

Now, twelve years, Allie is a child advocate running for her life with one of the children in her care. Fleeing from unknown pursuers, and with no place else to go, she runs to Beck, the only person she can trust. She'd made some powerful enemies when she began calling for public oversight on police corruption, so heeding threats and warnings, and after escaping an assault she goes into hiding.

Beck, a reclusive wildlife biologist and nature photographer living on the family ranch in Southwest Colorado, couldn't remember a day he hadn't thought of Allie since she left without a word. When she shows up at his door—with someone else's child—he promises to do the right thing, but very soon isn't sure what the right thing is.

About the Author

C.C. Harrison (aka Christy Hubbard) is an award-winning author of mysteries and American West fiction. She knew she was going to be a writer when she got her first library card as a beginning reader. Since then her work has been honored both regionally and nationally for her short stories, articles, essays, and novels.

"I write books about ordinary women having extraordinary experiences. Women who find themselves facing adversity because of someone's mistake, sometimes their own. If they hear thumping in the attic or a creepy noise in the basement, they don't scream and run away. Instead they check it out. They may be afraid, but they do it anyway. That's courage. This, of course, gets them in deeper trouble."

Her first book, The Charmstone, is a mystery set on the Navajo Indian Reservation where she lived as a VISTA Volunteer. Tony Hillerman called it "An important book!"

Her recent book Death by G-String, a Coyote Canyon Ladies Ukulele Club mystery is the 2019 Colorado Humanities Book Award Mystery winner.

"I like writing books set in small towns, the kind of small towns people run away to or hide out in. Small town secrets and misbehavior are so much more intriguing. I know. I've lived in them."

Harrison can be found in the desert, the mountains, or some far flung corner of the Southwest. She is currently living in the White Mountains.
