About the author

D.F. Bailey is a W.H. Smith First Novel Award and a Whistler Independent Book Award finalist.

His first novel, Fire Eyes was optioned for film. His second novel, Healing the Dead, was translated into German as Todliche Ahnungen. The Good Lie, another psychological thriller, was recorded as a talking book. A fourth novel, Exit from America, made its debut as an e-book in 2013.

In 2015 D.F. Bailey published The Finch Trilogy — Bone Maker, Stone Eater, and Lone Hunter — novels narrated from the point-of-view of a crime reporter in San Francisco. He is now extending the trilogy in a series of stand-alone novels.

Following his birth in Montreal, D.F. Bailey's family moved around North America from rural Ontario to New York City to McComb, Mississippi to Cape May, New Jersey. He finally "landed on his feet" on Vancouver Island — where he lives next to the Salish Sea in the city of Victoria.

For twenty-two years D.F. Bailey worked at the University of Victoria where he taught creative writing and journalism and coordinated the Professional Writing Cooperative Education Program — which he co-founded. From time to time he also freelanced as a business writer and journalist. In the fall of 2010 he left the university so that he could turn "his pre-occupation with writing into a full-blown obsession."

Reviews

[Dave · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a heck of a bargain, with 14 different novels by 14 different authors in one bundle. They were all described as 'thrillers', but I found the content considerably varied. There were several excellent books and several poor books, the rest either good or very good. Of course, this judgment is only from my point of view - your mileage may vary! Incidentally, this took me a little over five weeks to read the whole boxed set.

Here's a list of the 14 books and my ratings of each - I've posed a review separately under each title.
1. Bone Maker - 3 *
2. True Deceit - 3 *
3. The Cleaner - 5 *
4. The DCI Jones Casebook - 5*
5. The Mark of the Loon - 2*
6. 3 Lies - 4 *
7. Havana Lost - 4 *
8. The Geneva Decision - 2 *
9. Dark Heart - 5 *
10. Terminal Agenda - 4*
11. For Your Sins - 3*
12. At Bay - 3.5*"
13. Stiff Arm Steal - 4*
14. Social Engineer -4*

Review

Some of the stories had so much filthy language, I couldn't read them. Some were very good. Would have been much better had the stories focused on the plot instead of the language.

[E.R. Harding · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was superb. Most of the stories in this collection are little short of brilliant, and I only found two that could have done with a little fine tuning. Death, Lies & Duct Tape was one of the best compilations I’ve read in a very long time.

[Maxime Croft · Rating 5 out of 5]

Certainly worth the price.
I discovered several new author whose books I shall certainly read... Carella, Donovan, Bailey just to name a few.
I will leave an individual review per author

[JOHN P LINTZ SR · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great set of books covering several genres from various accomplished authors.

Generally thrillers, police procedural, detectives, etc.

It will lead you to want to read more by the authors.
