Law & Order: Crime Scenes

by Dick Wolf

Law & Order: Crime Scenes Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

NBC's Emmy® Award-winning hit series Law & Order recently celebrated its 300th episode, earning the distinction of being television's longest-running drama. Now, for the first time, producer Dick Wolf, in collaboration with series photographer Jessica Burstein, presents a visually powerful and very intimate look at the drama. Walking the thin line between reality and fantasy, Law & Order: Crime Scenes features gripping crime scene photographs (some of which might not be suitable for younger readers) from the show's most popular episodes. This unique volume, a can't-miss item for any fan, includes:
  • More than 100 high-quality photographs in a stunning, rivet-bound hardcover flawlessly replicating an authentic police blotter — an extraordinary gift for any Law & Order fanatic!
  • Never-before-seen Law & Order crime scene photographs — so authentic that even actual NYPD officers mistook them for real
  • Dick Wolf's personal descriptions of each of the show's main characters throughout the series, including his revelations about their little-seen personal lives
  • "Anatomy of a Crime Scene," describing each step involved in creating those grab-you-by-the-throat sequences that open each episode
  • Interviews with various cast and crew members explaining in detail how the show's crime scenes are developed
  • A "Postmortem" by Jessica Burstein featuring thumbnails of the photographs, with notations on which episode each photograph is from and anecdotal information about the shoot and the actors

Review:

"This literary tribute...is more than a fetishist's bedside companion....Altogether, this is a simple, classy and authoritative gift book." Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

Like the popular TV series, this book walks the thin line between reality and fantasy, focusing on crime scenes from the show's most popular episodes. Includes 100+ high-quality photos in a rivet-bound, foil-stamped hardcover flawlessly replicating an authentic police blotter.
