thanekosHe translated them well.
His style fit their tales of the progression of crime and criminals.
The fourth adaptation, of the fourteenth Parker book Slayground, was a great showcase of that.
In it, the titular criminal pulled off an armored car heist that went bad in the escape. He legged it with the money into a nearby amusement park.
Some crooks and crooked cops nearby, in the middle of transacting business, saw him. Then they heard about the thing he'd done nearby on the radio and realized who he had to be and what he was carrying.
Parker, looking for a way out of where he'd come in, found nothing that wasn't locked up.
He saw the criminals gathering outside and knew what they were there for (but not why they were waiting).
( So he got things ready for them. )
