"International lawyer Bryan puts his professional experience to good use in his engrossing first novel...Readers will root for the sympathetic Duncan Luke] as he morphs into a more grounded version of James Bond or Jason Bourne." --Publishers Weekly

International business espionage meets high-stakes family drama in this well-received global thriller.

Duncan Luke is no stranger to impossible situations. A high-priced lawyer and expert in business intelligence, he knows how to extricate his clients from sticky situations while saving--or making--them millions. To be the best, he's sacrificed everything, including his family, but now he wants out. He's quitting his lucrative practice for academia and time with his autistic son, Sam. But his wife isn't on board and files for divorce, forcing him to fight for custody. With mounting legal bills, the only way to keep his son is to take on one last client. He plans to do the job, get out and get home to Sam, but his client, Ghislaine Bingham, has other ideas.

When Duncan and Ghislaine meet, sparks fly, but neither can walk away--they both need each other, but for different reasons.

From L.A.'s towering palms and Tokyo's steamy noodle bars to London high-finance and Panamanian corruption, BIG: BEGINNINGS is a thrilling, non-stop ride around the globe. As Duncan flies across time zones doing battle for Ghislaine, risking his life and reputation, Sam slips further away. Duncan must finish the job to get him back, but time is running out.

"...very evocative, very descriptive..." --LA Review of Books
