Gold Circle Films has optioned the film rights to David Rosenfelt's novel "On Borrowed Time" reports Deadline.
The Hitchcockian thriller follows a journalist who's about to ask his girlfriend to marry him when they get into an accident and she disappears. Her family and even his friends claim she never existed.
As he writes about his ordeal in magazine articles, it's unclear whether the journalist is delusional, the subject of memory experiments, or is the victim of a conspiracy. Rosenfelt also penned the Edgar Award-nominated "Open & Shut".

David Rosenfelt's novel On Borrowed Time has been optioned by Gold Circle Films, according to Deadline. The novel is said to be a "Hitchcockian thriller", which was published by St. Martin's Press. Rosenfelt was once a marketing executive who has transformed into a screenwriter and then an author.
The novel tells the story of "a journalist who's about to ask his girlfriend to marry him when they get into an accident and she disappears. Her family and even his friends claim she never existed. As he writes about his ordeal in magazine articles, it's unclear whether the journalist is delusional, the subject of memory experiments, or is the victim of a conspiracy."
Rosenfelt's first novel, Open & Shut, was nominated for an Edgar Award. The series focused on "a lawyer who takes on impossible cases, particularly if they involve dogs." I have not read either of his novels but the storys are intriguing.
