About the Book

A child shot in a game of Mob. A world thrown into chaos. Can love redeem the survivors? Healing The Dead blends the dark tension of I AM WATCHING YOU with the brooding suspense of Gillian Flynn’s SHARP OBJECTS. “You start reading Healing the Dead with a gasp and never get a proper chance to exhale.” — Globe and Mail When David Sykes captures the accidental shooting death of his best friend on film, his family is torn apart by guilt, isolation and a terrible inability to love. Who to blame? Who can save them? Children of ambitious parents, Jayne, Rose and David struggle to assert their individual identities in a world they believe is confused at best, brutally hypocritical at worst. Through the turbulent 1960s—as they move from Toronto to New York City—they struggle to keep their family intact. One by one, each must confront the emotional debris that threatens to break through their carefully constructed defenses. Ultimately, the hand of love is extended to David. But can he embrace it? Powerful and disturbing, Healing the Dead is an unforgettable story of the search for salvation in the rapidly changing morality of the 1960s.

About the Author :
In 2015 D. F. (Don) Bailey published The Finch Trilogy — Bone Maker, Stone Eater, Lone Hunter — three novels narrated from the point-of-view of a crime reporter in contemporary San Francisco. Following the trilogy’s success, Second Life (2017) launched a new saga based on the characters introduced in the first three books. The series prequel, Five Knives, came out in 2018. The Finch chronicle continues with Open Chains (2019), Run Time (2020), and White Sphere (2022). His first psychological thriller, Fire Eyes, was a W.H. Smith First Novel Award finalist. His second novel, Healing the Dead, was translated into German as Todliche Ahnungen. The Good Lie (2008) is set in his adopted hometown, Victoria. His fourth novel, Exit from America, appeared in 2013. Following his birth in Montreal, Don’s family moved around North America from rural Ontario to New York City to Mississippi and New Jersey. “After years of seeking the ideal place to live,” he says, “I finally landed on my feet on Vancouver Island — where I live next to the Salish Sea in the city of Victoria.” For twenty-two years he 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, Don left the university so that, “I could turn my pre-occupation with writing into a full-blown obsession.” An Amazon bestselling author, he’s also a ManyBooks.com Book-of-The-Month Award winner and a Whistler Independent Book Award finalist. • Click the “Follow” button above to receive news about his next novel. • Sign up for his free new reader book bundle ➜ https://bit.ly/DFBailey • Visit his website ➜ https://dfbailey.com • Send an email ➜ don@dfbailey.com
