Dugan, Travis Dugan, is an un-ambitious P.I. summoned to the island by a sultry representative of the Rigney family, the candy conglomerate that owns the island, to investigate the disappearance of the family's heir apparent. Our reluctant hero finds himself mixed up in a search for a fabulous sunken Chinese treasure, pursuing and pursued by black-market arms smugglers, the British Secret Service, and murder. A fast-paced page-turner fraught with intrigue and filled with colorful characters, The Big Casino pays homage to the genre of Mike Hammer, Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, and yes, even 007.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised on the beaches of Southern California, Gregory G.
