(4) 4-6 Photographs by Dennis Sutton. Short, punchy chapters trace a hostage-taking at a bank from the first 911 call through its resolution. Sidebars contain intriguing supplemental information on police equipment and procedures. While the incident depicted is fictional, the use of real names from a specific Virginia police department, along with the accompanying black-and-white documentary photographs, make the book an uneasy hybrid of fact and fiction.
