The Royal Box

About the Book

This is Jim Malner's second action adventure sports novel. This is a genre of novels that fuse the world of professional sports with international and geo-political intrigue to create an action-packed thrill-ride for readers.

Jack Emery is the NCAA tennis champion struggling to make the Association of Tennis Professionals tour and fulfill his dream of playing at Wimbledon. Little does he know that a reporter, Rachel Baxter, who's taken an interest in his career, is a Mossad agent working undercover to stop a deadly terrorist attack on Wimbledon's Royal Box. Jack's temper and insecurities have made him a pariah with the sport's elitist establishment, while Rachel is still dealing with the guilt of her previous partner's death. The two must come together to take down a deadly terror cell committed to murdering 77 of the world's most prominent leaders and thousands of fans at tennis's most prestigious event.

From the war-torn streets of Gaza to Wimbledon's refined center court, Jack's ascendancy in the game becomes integral to Rachel's formidable assignment. As they grow from acquaintances to friends to fighters, the two embark on a global journey where life and death hang in the balance at every turn. Together, they will uncover what being a champion means.
