The right novel for the right times, even as a TV series. Think Miami Vice or one of the Reacher novels. This softbound novel is out of print but film rights can still be bought by you and resold. Plot is the theft of a prototype car from an automaker and the efforts of a hard boiled detective (who is a barn finder of Ferraris and other exotics on the side) to get the car back and capture the perp. Available now is sample chapter.

Same author sold an option to his Shelby bio to Hollywood so knows how it works. Step 1 to being a co-producer is owning a literary property someone wants.
