But why is his phone number in Valerie’s black book when he claims only to have known her in passing? Why was she calling him from a phone booth on the street? The police stop caring once they pin the murder on a man known for having stalked Valerie and seen talking to her moments before the murder. Duane was playing in a match at the time of Valerie’s death. Open and Myron’s number one client becomes the number one suspect.Ĭlearing Duane’s name should be easy enough. That is, until Valerie is murdered in broad daylight at the U.S. Myron, who’s also got the hottest young male tennis star, Duane Richwood, primed to take his first grand slam tournament, couldn’t be happier. Valerie Simpson is a young female tennis star with a troubled past who’s now on the verge of a comeback and wants Myron as her agent.
