In S. Craig Zahler's "Mean Business on North Ganson Street, " a
hardened city detective is sent to a hellhole rust belt town where
crime is raging and cops are showing up dead, optioned by Warner
Bros with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx attached.
A distraught businessman kills himself after a short, impolite
conversation with a detective named Jules Bettinger. Because of
this incident, the unkind (but decorated) policeman is forced to
relocate himself and his family from Arizona to the frigid north,
where he will work for an understaffed precinct in Victory,
Missouri. This collapsed rustbelt city is a dying beast that
devours itself and its inhabitants...and has done so for more than
four decades. Its streets are covered with dead pigeons and there
are seven hundred criminals for every law enforcer.
Partnered with a boorish and demoted corporal, Bettinger
investigates a double homicide in which two policemen were slain
and mutilated. The detective looks for answers in the fringes of
the city and also in the pasts of the cops with whom he works--men
who stomped on a local drug dealer until he was disabled.
Bettinger soon begins to suspect that the double homicide is not an
isolated event, but a prelude to a series of cop
executions...
The author is currently adapting this book into a movie for Warner
Brothers; Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio are both attached to the
project.
