"A Cold Case" is a 2002 novel by Philip Gourevitch. A film adaptation of the novel starring Tom Hanks was attempted, but the project did not enter production.

Plot summary

"A Cold Case" follows real-life chief investigator Andy Rosenzweig from the Manhattan District Attorney's office as he investigates the 1970 murders of Richie Glennon and Pete McGinn, a case which was seemingly closed too soon.

Film adaptation

"A Cold Case" was originally slated to have a film adaptation starring Tom Hanks after the actor's performances in "The Terminal" (2004) and "The Ladykillers" (2004). Director Mark Romanek was signed to helm the project with a script by John Sayles and Eric Roth, but when Hanks chose to do "The Polar Express" (2004) instead, the project came to a halt.
