The company has optioned the rights to the much-loved series of 25 novels written by journalist turned novelist H.R.F. Keating over a 45-year period. It intends to develop them as a multi-part returnable series. No details are yet available about the series’ development schedule, talent attachments or broadcast partners.
Introduced in 1964 novel “The Perfect Murder,” the books feature Ganesh V Ghote as a middle-aged, married inspector in the Mumbai police force. A dogged crimefighter who is often under-estimated by Bombay society, Ghote spends almost as much time combatting bureaucracy as he does cracking cases. The new book-to-screen deal is timed with Severn House republishing each of the “Inspector Ghote” novels and Level Best Books publishing a new biography “H.R.F. Keating: A Life of Crime,” written by Keating’s wife, actress Sheila Mitchell, and published last month. The biography includes an introduction from another literary lion, Len Deighton.
