I think I first read the plot where a bank manager's family
is held hostage while one of the criminals takes the manager
to open the bank's vault in one of Garry Disher's Wyatt
novels. Since then, I've seen it in a number of TV shows --
Law & Order, one of the CSIs, 24, maybe even Nash
Bridges.
So, my questions are:
When did this start showing up in books? Was Disher the
first?
And does this happen in real life? I don't remember reading
about it in the papers. Seems there's a lot of added exposure
there.
Duane, you've written a book on bank jobs, real and
fictional. Do you know?
