• Richard Romano is an accomplished screenwriter,
author, and former NYPD sergeant whose book “The
Investigation of the Homicide of Jesus Christ,” was

The Investigator, a sports and crime drama based on a

pic” and classroom drama, the independently released
movie received positive acclaim from critics.

3. The Investigator Movie
• The Investigator is the story of a disgraced NYPD
policeman who takes a position as a high school teacher
and baseball coach after a fatal mistake on the job. His
former profession still fresh in his mind, the new
educator undertakes classroom-based investigations into
the homicide of notable figures in history.
The protagonist introduces his students first to the
murder of John F. Kennedy and then that of Jesus
Christ. His interactions at the high school help him deal
with the tragedies he has faced, and reestablish his faith.
The result is a compelling combination of athletics,
criminology, and spiritual journey.
