Woman involved in scam, running into stars (13)
I believe the answer is:
constellation
'stars' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'woman involved in scam running into' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'stella' ().
'involved in' indicates putting letters inside.
'scam' becomes 'con' (both can mean a fraudulent scheme).
'running' is an anagram indicator (the letters run around to different places).
'into' with letters rearranged gives '[into]'.
'con'+'[into]'='con[into]'
'stella' going into 'contion' is 'CONSTELLATION'.
(Other definitions for constellation that I've seen before include "Twins, perhaps" , "E.g Orion, Andromeda" , "Client to salon (anag.)" , "Star group" , "Draco, perhaps" .)
