The book takes off at the Wimbledon tennis championships which are in turmoil with the murder of the men’s number 1 player. The many suspects include a bad boy Bollywood film star, a maverick sports agent, a corrupt umpire, but perhaps most importantly, some top stars of women’s tennis as well. Tabloid journalist Terry Proudley, a nondescript dreamer, joins forces with glamorous policewoman Verita Sassi to track down the culprit, never guessing that the quest for justice will take them to the south of France, then India...and beyond. So who is the murderer? And who will win the coveted women’s Wimbledon title? Find out in “The Smash”! Published by Pen Press Publishers Ltd (July 1, 2008 / ISBN- 10: 1906206775 / ISBN-13: 978-1906206772), “The Smash!” is available from amazon.co.uk and most quality bookstores.

The Tennis Bookshop was established in September 1988 by Alan Chalmers as a specialist catalogue dealer in printed matter related to Lawn Tennis, Real/Court Tennis, Rackets/Racquets, and Squash Rackets, there being at the time no other specialist dealers in these fields, though most other sports were well covered. Since then, several others have set up similar businesses, but the Tennis Bookshop makes a strong claim to be the world’s leading dealer. Alan Chalmers played squash rackets and lawn tennis for 30 years, and real tennis for the last 20 years. He has also organised many tennis and squash tournaments from club up to international level, and written the internet ball-by-ball reports on several of the recent world real tennis championship eliminator matches. Over the past three decades he has also worked on the Centre Court at Wimbledon overseeing the arrangements for the writing journalists and the competitors, and in that time amassed hundreds of journalists as friends and acquaintances. The Tennis Bookshop philosophy is that only very good condition books are acceptable to customers, and even now, stocks no titles published after 1935 that are not in their original dust-wrappers. Business is promoted by the issue of over 65 quarterly Newsletters, each of six pages which are mailed to customers in around sixty countries as well as via use of the internet and e-mails that now constitute about 75% of orders. Product Range: A very wide range of literature on real/court
