Peter Colt's "The Banker," the movie

Featured at My Book, The Movie: The Banker (An Andy Roark mystery, 6) by Peter Colt.

The entry begins:

The Banker is set in 1986 and takes place in Boston and Amesbury, Massachusetts, which is on the border with New Hampshire. PI Andy Roark is hired to look into a case of embezzlement at a bank in Amesbury. After a few weeks he quits out of boredom. A short time later the bank is robbed and one of the suspects in the embezzlement is murdered. Roark thinks the timing is just too coincidental and gets back on the case. He is helped by his old friend from Vietnam and fellow Green Beret, Chris. Also Angela Estrella is back as his romantic interest.

If the book were made into a movie I would love Ben Affleck to direct it. He has proven with movies such as Gone Baby Gone and Argos that he is a skilled director. His familiarity with Boston would make him a natural to direct the film. I could see him doing that and even taking a small role like that of the bank president Brock who hires Andy.

There are a lot of fantastic actors who could play the part of Andy...[read on]
