“The Day of the Jackal” producer Carnival Films have snapped up the rights to develop Sarah Pinborough’s upcoming novel “They Say a Girl Died Here” for television.

The murder mystery, which is set to be published at the end of this month, follows university drop-out Anna Maybourne as she accompanies her mother, sister and grandmother to the farming town of Harper’s Creek – a place where two girls were killed exactly three years apart. While her grandmother descends deeper into dementia, Anna becomes increasingly obsessed with the murders.
