Plot

Private investigator Spenser takes on a bodyguarding job, to protect a television actress, Jill Joyce, who has been getting harassing phone calls. While at first there is speculation that the attractive, alcohol-loving star may be exaggerating the incidents for attention, Spenser realizes there is a serious danger when her stunt double is murdered. Spenser interviews her former lovers and partners, including a mob-linked executive and a financially struggling ex-husband. Spenser leaves his tough friend Hawk to protect Jill, while he travels to do more background research. Spenser goes to California to visit her estranged parents. He finds out that Jill secretly had a child out of wedlock.
