Set to be published February 18th, Meg Gardiner‘s novel The Dark Corners of the Night is already being eyed for adaptation, with Amazon Studios acquiring the rights this week.
Deadline reports that Amazon is developing a one-hour drama based on the novel, which is the third in a series centered on a young FBI agent pursuing serial killers.
“The first book, UNSUB, follows a female detective on the trail of an infamous serial killer – inspired by the still-unsolved Zodiac case – who breaks his silence and begins killing again. The detective grew up watching her father destroy himself and his family as he chased the killer, and now finds herself confronting the same monster her father failed to catch.”
“In the third book, The Dark Corners of The Night, the heroine has risen through the ranks to become a Behavioral Analysts for the FBI and is on the hunt for a serial killer who targets families, killing the parents and leaving the children alive to witness the unspeakable horror.”
Stephen King raves, “Meg Gardiner is the next suspense superstar.”
Larry Trilling (“Goliath”) will serve as executive producer and showrunner.
