TNT has ordered to series the tentatively titled King And Maxwell, featuring characters based on those created by crime novelist David Baldacci and featured in a series of six (to date) books. Ten episodes will be produced.
Jon Tenney will play Sean King opposite Rebecca Romijn's Michelle Maxell, both former Secret Service agents, who are now private investigators handling "sensitive" cases in Washington DC. They "aren't your typical pair of private investigators. Both are former Secret Service agents, and their unique skills — not to mention their razor-sharp chemistry — often give them a leg up on suspects and conventional law enforcement."
Shane Brennan (NCIS) wrote the pilot screenplay. Baldacci will serve as a consultant to the series, which is expected to premiere Summer 2013.
The most recent book to feature the pair is 2011's The Sixth Man, more information about which can be found below.

A Sean King and Michelle Maxwell Mystery
Edgar Roy — an alleged serial killer held in a secure, fortress-like Federal Supermax facility — is awaiting trial. He faces almost certain conviction. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's attorney, Sean's old friend and mentor Ted Bergin, to help work the case. But their investigation is derailed before it begins; en route to their first meeting with Bergin, Sean and Michelle find him murdered.
It is now up to them to ask the questions no one seems to want answered: Is Roy a killer? Who murdered Bergin? With help from some surprising allies, they continue to pursue the case. But the more they dig into Roy's past, the more they encounter obstacles, half-truths, dead-ends, false friends, and escalating threats from every direction. Their persistence puts them on a collision course with the highest levels of the government and the darkest corners of power. In a terrifying confrontation that will push Sean and Michelle to their limits, the duo may be permanently parted.
