Runaway making exotic dancer sob (9)
I believe the answer is:
absconder
'runaway' is the definition.
(absconder is a kind of runaway)
'exotic dancer sob' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates anagramming the letters (an unusual form of the letters).
'dancer'+'sob'='dancersob'
'dancersob' with letters rearranged gives 'ABSCONDER'.
'making' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for absconder that I've seen before include "runner" , "Runaway" , "Arrest evader" .)
