ABC has ordered a series script centered on NYPD officer Michael Bennett, a character created by crime novelist James Patterson. Bennett was introduced in the 2007 mystery Step on a Crack, co-written with Michael Ledwidge. According to Deadline, if the script is approved, it will bypass the pilot stage and move right into production.

ABC's last venture with Patterson was Women's Murder Club from 2007, also based on characters he created, which lasted just one season.
