Stardust is the 17th book in Robert B. Parker's Spenser series and first published in 1990.
Spenser investigates the stalking of Jill Joyce, a TV star.
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.
