  • Marcus Sakey stunts a S.W.A.T. suit in Atlanta’s Hidden City episode


Crime novelist Marcus Sakey faces off with real life crime stories that shaped major U.S. cities in the latest Travel Channel show, “Hidden City.” On the eve of the Atlanta episode (airing tonight at 10 p.m.), Sakey talks with CL about his former ATL-ienship, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and getting so close to stories that it burns. Literally. In his eyes with mace. But being pepper-sprayed on purpose does not a Johnny Knoxville make. Whether stealing a car or training with a S.W.A.T. team, Sakey aims to experience the two sides of every story.
