When she finally catches up to Morelli, she realizes that the case against him doesnt add up and that the old flame from their school days may just be rekindling.In an October 2010 interview, author Janet Evanovich stated that TriStar Pictures had purchased the rights to her novel thirteen years previously, and the film had been in development hell since that time.
