A classic detective mystery, circa early 50's,
unfolds on the picturesque Isle of Catalina.
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, and yes, even 007.
