The twists and turns could make for a great series. There is also a sequel book that could be added as a second season.

What a great cast in the movie. Ford, Scacchi, Brian Dennehy, Raul Julia, Bonnie Bedelia, and a pre West Wing, John Spencer.

Apple TV has some solid series so I have high hopes for this.
