The series comes from writers and executive producers Jake Coburn and Jason Tracey (\u201cElementary\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Here, Jay Gatsby is a devilishly charming investigator and detective \u201cwith a con-man\u2019s gift for reading human behavior\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Decorated New York State Police Det.
