Another publisher dies, another book dies with it (for now). Long ago, I wrote a book featuring a character named Cooke. It killed three publishers (one of which actually published it) (four, if you count 10th Rule Books). Is Cooke a character in the new DOA book?
Yep.
Apologies everyone.

While it had some genuine 'Parker' moments, no hardcore fan of Richard Stark is going to be satisfied with Play Dirty. Like Walbergs turn as Spenser, he's often Parker in name only. Still, it's a fun heist flick. Anyone upset it wasn't a faithful adaptation has a tenuous connection to reality.

Great movie. I'm assuming you meant John Carpenter (though now I kind of want to see a reboot directed by John Woo, I don't know about the rest, but the shootouts would not be lacking.)

Thanks, Gabino!
Packed with razor-sharp wit, breakneck action, and a cast of criminals who make bad decisions look like an art form. A relentless, darkly comedic thrill ride that doesnβt just flirt with disasterβit takes it out for drinks and invites it home to spend the night.

The guy who lifts weights at 3 in the morning, so he can trade crypto by 6, goes to bed at 8.
He's sleeping an hour before the hot chicks even show up at the bar.
Don't be this guy, kids.
Leave the house. Drink, smoke, and meet people. Stay out late, and sleep all morning. Maybe read some books too.
