“The Smash!” is a fictional novel by James Harbridge, a
litigation lawyer who is a partner in Trowers & Hamlins’ Oman
office as well as an accomplished author.
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.

Trading quality literature related to racket sports. 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
