The Tennis Court

By Jordan Elizaga

Three years ago, tennis champion Marina Cross lost everything-her career, reputation, and freedom-when she was framed for match-fixing in Madrid. Now, a mysterious invitation to Paradise Point Tennis Resort promises the evidence she needs to clear her name.

But Paradise Point harbors dark secrets beneath its pristine courts.

Hidden thirty feet underground lies a shadow resort-luxurious villas carved into bedrock, tennis courts bathed in artificial sunlight, and a network of tunnels concealing a billion-dollar conspiracy. The exclusive Champions Invitational isn't just a tournament; it's a trap that has drawn eight players, each connected to the match-fixing scandal that destroyed Marina's life.

Among them: Rafael Cortez, her former coach who betrayed her. Viktor Volkov, a Russian powerhouse with dangerous connections. And in the shadows, Isabella Romano-a champion supposedly killed for investigating corruption in professional tennis-who's very much alive and working with the FBI to expose the truth.

As Marina descends deeper into Paradise Point's underground labyrinth, she uncovers a web of fixed matches, laundered money, and murdered whistleblowers that reaches from tennis courts to senate floors. The resort's director, Diane Chen, isn't just hosting a tournament-she's orchestrating the elimination of everyone who knows the truth.

With no phone signal, no escape route, and nowhere to hide, Marina must play the match of her life. But in this game, the rules keep changing, allies become enemies, and every serve could be her last.

Courts of Deception

A heart-pounding thriller where luxury meets danger, and the only way out is through. Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben's sports mysteries and John Grisham's legal thrillers, this novel serves up corruption, conspiracy, and murder with a deadly backhand.
