Sledgehammer

By Vinny Smith

From the gritty backrooms of Las Vegas to the hallowed courts of the U.S. Open, Vinny Smith's SLEDGEHAMMER introduces Charlotte Bertram, a name that once echoed as a former number one ranked Juniors champion and tennis prodigy. But years later, she's known as Charlie James, a rough and rowdy Las Vegas cocktail waitress with a penchant for high-stakes gambling and a life outside convention.

Now, against all odds, this un-ranked, un-seeded force of nature finds herself on the verge of one of the greatest comebacks ever, battling the reigning Grand Slam champion in the U.S. Open Women's Final. But her astonishing return isn't just about a championship title. Charlie and her outlaw biker husband, Ely, find themselves ensnared in legal and financial peril due to alleged money laundering tied to his ambulance company and his "Tyrants" club. Their very freedom hangs in the balance.

For Charlie, this tournament is a last-ditch gamble. With her powerful 'sledgehammer' serve and an unyielding will to win, she is on a collision course with destiny. Can this outlaw tennis pro overcome her demons, the immense pressures of the sport, and her past, to secure a victory that means more than just a trophy - a victory that could keep her and Ely out of prison?
