Storyline: the score was love-fifteen but death won the game. A corpse lay in the centre of the muddy clay tennis court and the ground around it showed signs of a struggle. Frank Dorrance had been strangled to death. Even Dr. Gideon Fell was baffled by this case. Dorrance had had many enemies and the list of suspects was long. But the only footprints leading away from the body were those of a girl who couldn't have done it... As for the victim - well, one woman had hated him because he had betrayed her -another because she had to marry him; and one man wished him dead out of jealousy, whilst another wanted him dead for revenge. What did they have in common? They all hated him with a passion that bordered on uncontrollable frenzy. But the one who had killed him had planned it with a cold and cunning calculating mind.
