Winslow’s Border Trilogy Bound for TV

From a particularly information-packed edition of B.V. Lawson’s “Media Murder for Monday” column—appearing today in her In Reference to Murder blog—comes this item:

FX Networks has landed the rights to adapt Don Winslow’s acclaimed Cartel Trilogy into a TV series that will include Winslow’s 2005 novel The Power of the Dog, the 2015 followup, The Cartel, and the just published conclusion, The Border. The book trilogy spans a 45-year period and follows DEA agent Art Keller through America’s long-running war on drugs as well as his blood feud with Mexican drug kingpin Adán Berrera. The first two books were originally sold to be turned into a feature film by Fox, but the company ultimately decided it was too much material for a two-hour film and better suited for “an edgy Sons of Anarchy-style series” by sister company FX.
