Been a fan of Parker for several years. Was pleased to find out that Point Blank came from Parker novel. I saw that film back in the day in the theater. Got it from the library and was pleased to see that it was as good as I remembered. Looking forward to watching Payback which I did not know was another Parker novel. I now have several in Kindle and they are in my reading rotation.
Parker in rotation always a wise choice. Ensure you watch the Directors Cut/Straight Up version of 'Payback'. Thanks for subscribing and commenting, there will be more Noir to come!
Nice work! I’m very partial to the Alison & Busby editions, as those are the ones I was first exposed to thanks to your good self. The coronet “bullet hole” covers are definitely my favourite, though, and they seem to be fairly affordable via eBay/abe books these days. The only one I have is a a very nice copy of “Plundersquad” which I found for 50p (I shit you not!) at the Guildhall market in Bath. I was so shocked to find it I actually swore out loud.
Doing this I noticed I have all but three of the initial series in A &B. I'd like to fill those gaps. Have you seen the prices for decent condition A&B hardcovers on Abebooks though? someone there has a signed 'Slayground', has done for ages, but the prices...
Yes, a lot of my early attempts will be refilmed in the future, so watch this space. There'll be a 'Westlake as SF writer' clip coming later this year!
You'll find that more recent videos have vastly improved sound, apologies for the deficiency of this early effort. Some of the early videos will be reshot when time allows.

Dan Simmons's Joe Kurtz crime trilogy, Hardcase, Hardfreeze, Hard as Nails, is a homage of sorts to Parker novels. Great stuff and great video.
Read them. Not bad.
Parker from leverage brought me here.
Love the Parker novels. It would be worthwhile to revisit this material with better audio and book covers.

Is there a way to increase video's sound level? Could barely hear you sometimes
