Excerpt
It was automatic. Head towards, not away from, trouble. The moment I'd heard it, I started to run.
A minute before, like every other press photographer, I'd been taking pictures of Carlotta Zappari, Italy's bad girl of tennis. Then I'd found myself using the back of a chair as a stepladder and hauling myself up and over the centre court wall.
It had been a bomb, no doubt about it, blowing out a sponsors box and showering glass and debris over the scattering of fans keen enough to watch the first round of the Open. People were stunned; the screaming hadn't started yet, nor had the panic and inevitable confusion. As far as I could tell, I was the only one moving.
Carlotta Zappari. 'Get some snaps, you know the type we want,' Tiny had winked. I knew exactly the type he wanted. What the dark-haired beauty with sultry eyes lacked in tennis skills, she made up for in other ways. Her looks, her boyfriends and her two startling centrefold appearances guaranteed constant media attention and a revolving door of endorsements
