Vancouver, BC (November 29, 2016) \u2013 <\/strong>Thunderbird announced today that they are teaming up with David Salzman to develop a premium television series based on the New York Times<\/em> best-selling Decker-Lazarus mystery novels authored by internationally renowned Faye Kellerman.<\/p>\n

The preliminary development will focus on The Ritual Bath<\/em>, the inaugural book in the series and the first novel optioned by Thunderbird. <\/em>The story, set in the world of Orthodox Judaism, centres on hard-nosed LAPD Detective Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, a widow and mother of two who witnesses a brutal crime and becomes embroiled in solving it. People Magazine<\/em> has referred to the pair as \u201chands down the most refreshing mystery couple around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood storytelling is so important in our business. With this project, we get to work with a phenomenal team on stories that people already love, what a great opportunity,\u201d said Thunderbird President Tim Gamble.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus to life on-screen will be a new and exciting adventure for me,\u201d Kellerman said. David Salzman continued, \u201cFaye is a world-class talent, I am thrilled to be working with her and Thunderbird to introduce her incredibly fresh characters and plotlines to an audience that transcends her enormous existing fan base.”<\/p>\n

Emmy award-winning David Salzman whose wide-ranging credits include Dallas, Max Headroom<\/em>, MADtv<\/em> and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air<\/em>, as well as event specials like the Academy Awards, is on board as an Executive Producer.<\/p>\n

Faye Kellerman has more than 30 million books in print, and her work includes the New York Times<\/em> best seller Justice, <\/em>and Prayers for the Dead, <\/em>which was listed as one of the best crime novels by the Los Angeles Times. <\/em>She was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013 by Strand Magazine<\/em>. The Ritual Bath<\/em> won Kellerman the prestigious Macavity Award for Best First Novel.<\/p>\n
