Working Title's Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan, and Shane Salerno's Story Factory are the production companies that put the package together along with CAA. It's a great crime story in the vein of Heat. High level jewel thieves are taking place up and down the Pacific Coast and police have linked the thefts to the Colombian cartels. Detective Lou Lubesnick has other ideas, and he zeroes in on one perp, a thief looking for a final score. HarperCollins published the story as part of the Winslow collection Broken in 2020.
