Producer Mark Williams has bought the movie rights to the novel
Double Cross, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The book, which is about the life of mobster Sam Giancana, tells the story of how the gangster rose from being a hit man for Al Capone to becoming a powerful don who had links to U.S. presidents including John F. Kennedy.
Giancana, who was nicknamed "Momo" because of his unpredictable vicious behavior, was assassinated in 1975 while cooking before he was to appear before a Senate committee investigating CIA and Mafia links to plots to kill Fidel Castro.
