Homicide detective Casey Duncan takes refuge in Rockton to help her best friend escape a brutal ex-husband, but Casey also has something to hide: before she was a cop, she killed a man. The series will be adapted by showrunner Julie Puckrin (<em>Killjoys<\/em>, <em>X Company<\/em>, <em>Motive<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Kerry Appleyard, senior VP of Temple Street, said: \u201cKelley Armstrong is one of Canada\u2019s most distinctive authors, with a tremendously loyal international fan base. In the Rockton novels, we\u2019ve found an arresting, timely investigative crime drama with a unique setting and formidable female lead that will resonate with audiences worldwide. We\u2019re thrilled to have the talented and authorial voice of Julie Puckrin to adapt and helm the series\u2014<em>City of the Lost<\/em> is exactly the type of provocative drama for which Temple Street is known.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong said: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled by the prospect of seeing Rockton come to life on the screen. I\u2019ve enjoyed Temple Street\u2019s work, and I look forward to seeing what they\u2014and Julie Puckrin\u2014will do with Rockton.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Puckrin added: \u201cI am delighted to be working with the award-winning team at Temple Street, to help bring Kelley Armstrong\u2019s gripping literary series to our screens. I was immediately drawn to <em>City of the Lost<\/em> for its complex female lead and rich thematic territory. The setting is uniquely Canadian, but the issues are universal\u2014the idea that you can hide from everything except who you really are. As a secret city where desperate people go to disappear, Rockton is the perfect crucible to explore what happens when we are forced to confront the difficult truths about ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boat Rocker Studios&#8217; Temple Street has secured the rights to the New York Times best-selling author Kelley Armstrong\u2019s Rockton series of mystery books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2534,2301],"class_list":["post-9553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-boat-rocker-studios","tag-temple-street","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
