A year ago we reported that Jeffrey Archer's 1998 political thriller The Eleventh Commandment was being developed for television.
Today we're learning (via Deadline) that NBC is the buyer. Patrick Harbinson (Inspector Lewis, Person of Interest) will write the script and co-executive produce with Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead).

The Eleventh Commandment
Jeffrey Archer
Connor Fitzgerald has an impressive resume. Military hero. Devoted family man. Servant of his country — as an assassin. Just as he's about to put his twenty-eight-year career at the CIA behind him, he comes up against the most dangerous enemy he's ever faced: His own boss, Helen Dexter.
As Director of the CIA, Dexter has always been the one to hold the strings. But when her status is threatened by a greater power, her only hope for survival is to destroy Fitzgerald. Meanwhile, the country braces itself as tensions with a new Russian leader reachthe boiling point … and it's up to Fitzgerald to pull off his most daring mission yet: To save the world. Even that means risking everything — including his own life — in the process.
