Open your eyes.
Hold your breath.
Dive into a world that is deep, dark, dangerous...
A lonely soldier finds the love of his life. A young girl toys with a gun in a game of mob. A father paddles his kayak into a patch of fog. A husband takes a trip down memory lane to mourn the death of his wife. It's all seems so normal ... until it isn't. Four psychological thrillers that go straight to your heart. So dark. Yet so full of light.
At Last! A boxset of D. F. Bailey’s first four psychological thrillers. The collection includes his first novel — a W.H. Smith First Novel Award finalist — Fire Eyes, plus Healing The Dead, The Good Lie, and Exit From America. BONUS his short story, “Suitcase,” the perfect epilogue to Healing the Dead.
IN PRAISE OF...
Fire Eyes
"Fire Eyes is a taut psychological thriller with literary overtones, a very contemporary terrorist romance."
—Globe and Mail
"Combines a remarkable literary finesse with the tightly wound mainspring of a psychological thriller. A new writer of the very best."
— Andreas Schroeder, author of “Renovating Heaven”
Healing The Dead
"You start reading Healing the Dead with a gasp and never get a proper chance to exhale."
—Globe and Mail
"The author is not afraid to take a hard look at the darker side of human nature, at the source of fear and violence, and to explore their repercussions with unflinching honesty."
—Monday Magazine
The Good Lie
"Bailey's masterstroke is in creating a situation that is so believable the reader cannot help but feel complicit in the guilt and anguish of it all. With compelling, measured prose, he stakes out precious territory in a genre - located somewhere between thriller and psychodrama - that he makes completely his own."
—Quill & Quire Magazine
"Bailey has crafted a tale that not only looks at a universal theme but places it in a very West Coast context, making this one story that local readers are going to love."
—Boulevard Magazine
Exit From America
“Another great story of moral revelation, despair and redemption by a contemporary master.”
— Lawrence Russell, author of “Outlaw Academic”
"The writing is extremely good … an exquisitely crafted novel. Reminiscent of The Unbearable Lightness of Being."
— Aaron C. Brown, Top 500 Reviewer
Q & A with D.F. Bailey
Q What inspired you to compile this boxset?
First Four is a collection of my first four thrillers—including the W. H. Smith First Novel Award finalist—Fire Eyes. Over the last three years I’ve written four books in my crime series which begins with Bone Maker. I know that the crime series is going to absorb my attention for many more years. So I wanted to package the earlier books into one collection for readers who might enjoy those books in a boxset format.
Q How long have you been writing?
I started to write at an early age, around age ten. When I was 25 I tried to write a novel (now tucked safely away in the bottom drawer of my desk). My first novel, Fire Eyes, came out when I was 36.
Q Are you a plotter or pantser?
A bit of both. I like the first and last scenes of a new novel to “appear” in my imagination before I begin to write the first draft. Then when I’m in the groove, I tend to map out the direction in chunks of four or five chapters. I always like to reserve plenty of room for the plot and characters to find their own direction, which makes me more of a pantser, I guess. However, outlines are important to me.
Q If you could bring one of your characters to life, who would it be?
Hmmm. Some of my characters have actually frightened me. Others are inspiring. However, Teejay Flood, the young girl In Exit From America, has a remarkable personal toughness mixed with the heart of a young saint, and an emotional IQ that is through the roof. I’ve already learned a lot from her. Seeing her in reality every day would likely make me a better person in every way.

First Four eBook D F Bailey Reviews
This is the first time I have read this author's books, and I can't wait to read more. He really keeps you on your toes with all the twist and turns. You get drawn in and not let go until the end. If you like thrillers then you should get this set.
I received an ARC from the author for purposes of an unbiased review.
I was gifted an ARC so I could give my honest opinion.
Surprised about the depth. Very well written, on a darken look about human nature.
Some characters scared me, some made me think about my own actions and inspired me.
It's all about fear, despair, guilt, anguish, redemption, forgiveness... Moments we can related and take a new look.
This is an author I really enjoy reading and this is the perfect "intro" for anyone who is not familiar with his work. My favorite of these is "The Good Life" but you can't go wrong with any of them. Since these are thrillers with twists and turns, I don't want to give anything away. I was given this set for an honest opinion, but I had previously bought them on my own as this is an author not to miss. Buy your own - you won't be disappointed.!
I received an ARC of this set of four novels from the author with the promise of an honest review. To date I have read "Healing the Dead" and "The Good Lie". They were both fantastic reads! I'm a fan of psychological dramas, so these two novels were "right up my alley". The characters were deep and brooding, and entrapped by their own minds. I plan on reading "Fire Eyes" and "Exit from America" within the next few weeks. Mr. Bailey is a great storeyteller. His characters come alive via his crisp and polished writing. At a dollar for all four books, you can't go wrong by picking up this collection.
Disheartened? Depressed? Despairing? Then sit right down and read this series of intricate sagas about broken hearts and minds, sagging spirits, and self-flagellating sad sacks. You'll immediately feel superior because your woes can't be as bad as these! From the pre-teen lad who watches his younger sister shoot and kill his best buddy to the almost-drowning kayaker who unintentionally sends his friend's daughter into a coma by slashing her with a paddle, from the kid who has to survive punishment in a dog cage to the five stressed souls who slowly discover that others are preying on them -- these are gripping tales of mental anguish and personal torment that can but may not be overcome.
If you are ready to be immersed in the darker side of one's personality and if you have ever wondered what you would do in certain circumstances that will affect the rest of your life - this is the boxed set for you.
My favorite book of the set is The Good Lie - when a kayaking accident puts a young girl in a coma and leaves a man feeling guilty for his role as a victim in the same accident, he heads down a dark path that affects both his mental and physical health.
While I only read an occasional psychological thriller and am picky about the authors, D.F. Bailey has definitely been added to the list!
They are deep enough that I had to read a lighter mystery after each book!
I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review, but, as you can see, I bought the set anyway,
These books really delve into thought and how one might see and process things. The characters each have unusual life challenges, and how they deal with them is what you will follow. A well crafted work. This journey will take you through many levels of emotion. Great read.
If you like breath taking thrillers, here is the set for you. There are so many twists and turns in these stories you will need a score card to keep everything straight....and good luck with that! I love the way D.F. writes his stories!!! There are four of in my opinion his best works right here in this set!
