Peter O’Brien will adapt the Robert Ludlum political thriller:
The following is how the publisher describes the book:
Did J. Edgar die a natural death?… or was he murdered? Inver Brass-a group of high-minded and high-placed intellectuals who see a monstrous threat to the country in Hoover’s unethical use of his scandal-ridden private files. They decide to do away with him-quietly, efficiently, with no hint of impropriety. Until best-selling thriller writer Peter Chancellor stumbles onto information that makes his precious books like harmless fairy tales. Now Chancellor and Inver Brass are on a deadly collision course, spiraling across the globe in an ever-widening arc of violence and terror. Hurtling toward a showdown that will rip Washington’s intelligence community apart-leaving only one damning document to survive…
The project is being developed with Leonardo DiCaprio to star.
