Search for a fugitive (7)
I believe the answer is:
manhunt
'search for a fugitive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for manhunt that I've seen before include "Pursuit of missing person" , "Search for criminal" , "Search for wanted person" , "in which one wanted to be found?" , "Organised search for a fugitive" .)
