novels that
combine those two elements?"
In the early '50s Dick Powell, who'd starred in a lot of the
best '40s
noirs, directed a movie called *Split Second* about a group
of people
held hostoage in an area that was about to be the center of
a nuclear
bomb test. The style was more Hitchcokian than noir
(although
Hitchcock tended toward noir a few times), but still might
be
something you'd be interested in. - Jim Doherty
