Deadline

Producer Aaron Magnani has acquired the rights to the late Margaret Truman's 32-part crime thriller Capital Crimes, which follows Robert Brixton, "a rugged former cop and special operator who served with SITQUAL, a private security arm of the State Department," per Deadline. "Brixton’s skills, as one of the few internationally licensed private investigators, are put to use against an assortment of villains and plots seeking to do the country great harm; all the books are set in Washington, D.C. Tortured by witnessing the death of his daughter in a terrorist bombing there, Brixton is guided by an unrelenting desire to safeguard the innocent. He’s currently engaged to longtime fiancée Flo Combs, and often works alongside his best friend and top Washington attorney Mackenzie Smith." The potential series will be shopped to broadcast, cable and streaming platforms.
