Spenser

Spenser is a private investigator who works out of Boston. Spenser gets a call from a television reporter who got his number from a previous client. The reporter, Candy Sloan, wants to hire Spenser to act as a bodyguard while she investigates corruption in the movie industry. Spenser immediately flies out to Los Angeles where Candy puts him up in a local hotel. The next day Spenser learns that Candy was attacked by a couple of thugs, beat up, and warned to stay away from the corruption story. However, Candy is more determined than ever to work the story.

Spenser follows Candy around as she interviews people involved in the story, anxious to help but aware that Candy wants to do the actual investigating herself. Spenser makes many suggestions and acts as a sounding board to Candy's ideas, but does not interfere with the investigation and the choices...
