McGee, a Florida bachelor living on a houseboat, tracks down property and money for his clients and pockets half their value in return. Deep Blue Goodbye is the first of 21 books in MacDonald's series and sees the character search for hidden treasure buried by a World War II soldier.
Dana Stevens adapted the crime story for the screen, which Peter Chernin, DiCaprio (through his Appian Way firm) and Jennifer Davisson Killoran will produce for 20th Century Fox, says Variety.
Fox believes the series of McGee books can be turned into a film franchise.
