1939 Review: When Betty Dwight, five times lady tennis champion, is challenged by the notorious Marie Azarin, Mexico's spectacular contribution to world tennis, the odds are against the champion. A deal of tennis, romance and mystery follow in this story which has such an interesting beginning. For when the match between the champion and the challenger begins the prophesy of the odds seems to be coming true. Marie plays brilliantly, while the champion's game is definitely off. Imagine then, the horror of the onlookers when the Mexican player ignores one of Betty's serves and falls to the court, dead. The story is told by young David Cameron, a designer of airplane motors. From a shipboard acquaintanceship with the beautiful champion, David, in a maze of complications, follows through to clear up the mystery of the challenger's death. With the advent of MacMasters of Scotland Yard business picks up. The corpse disappears, another murder occurs, while the sinister figure of Azarin, uncle to Marie, figures prominently in the series of events. (Bernice Normal Crockett, The Daily Oklahoman, OKC, 1939).
