Mystery Bytes: Jane Whitefield

The CW network has put in development Jane Whitefield, based on the Vanishing Act book series by Thomas Perry that includes Vanishing Act, Dance For The Dead, Shadow Woman, The Face Changers, Blood Money, Runner and Poison Flower.

Deadline.com reported the project, which will be written by Natalie Chaidez, "centers on a quirky young woman in search of her biological parents and her own identity who runs a private investigation/'eraser' company in Portland."

Natalie Chaidez has a long TV resume that includes IN PLAIN SIGHT, V, HEROES, JUDGING AMY and, most recently, NECESSARY ROUGHNESS. While NR has not impressed me, IN PLAIN SIGHT and JUDGING AMY both delivered strong female leads.
