Coming soon to a cop show near you

Mark Bowden (Black Hawk Down, Killing Pablo) is an amazing journalist, and he hits another home run with this incredible story about a private investigator who just refused to give up on a seemingly impossible case.

After a woman living in a hotel in Florida was raped, viciously beaten, and left for dead near the Everglades in 2005, the police investigation quickly went cold. But when the victim sued the Airport Regency, the hotel’s private detective, Ken Brennan, became obsessed with the case: how had the 21-year-old blonde disappeared from her room, unseen by security cameras? The author follows Brennan’s trail as the P.I. worked a chilling hunch that would lead him to other states, other crimes, and a man nobody else suspected.

I'd imagine someone is already writing a script for Law & Order: Special Victim Unit based on the story.
