TNT is developing a crime drama based on Sara Gran's New Orleans PI Claire DeWitt. Gran is attached to write and co-executive produce the pilot script.
Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead, the first book in the series introducing the "world's greatest PI" — if only in her own mind — was published in June 2011; more about the book, below. The second — Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway — will be published in June 2013.
Gran is also writing the pilot for the potential HBO series The Nutshell Studies, which was announced last September.

Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead
Sara Gran
A Claire DeWitt Mystery (1st in series)
Claire DeWitt believes she is the world's greatest PI, even if few agree with her. A one-time teen detective in Brooklyn, she is a follower of the esoteric French detective Jacques Silette, whose mysterious handbook Détection inspired Claire's unusual practices.
Claire also has deep roots in New Orleans, where she was mentored by Silette's student the brilliant Constance Darling — until Darling was murdered. When a respected DA goes missing she returns to the hurricane-ravaged city to find out why.
