New detective-author

LAPD anti-gang investigator Will Beall has sold Riverhead a pair of novels set in South Los Angeles — and Hollywood powerhouse CAA is marketing the film rights.

Detective Beall was mentioned once in a Times Column One story last year that chronicled the life of a Crip named Gizmo, but otherwise has kept a low media profile.
