Driving down the glamorous Las Vegas Strip, Bryce Hartman is plotting revenge against his former boss, the powerful governor of Nevada. Three thousand miles away, in Washington, D.C., Peter Holden, a two-bit lobbyist, will soon be doing the same. Long silenced by Governor Logan Key, they alone suspect the dark secret he hides, one that threatens a multimillionaire Las Vegas casino baron who will stop at nothing to protect his interests. When Albert Tom, a young Paiute Indian, discovers a body in the desert, he tells his story to reporter Mike Stanton. Now Stanton must uncover a web of deceit and murder stretching from Las Vegas to Washington, two cities where power, greed and illusion are the real games of chance.

Roger is also the producer of the short film about his voyage entitled "Melanesian Adventure," now available on youtube.com.
