A death in the wilderness.

A woman mourns alone.

A reporter works a single lead.



BONE MAKER fuses Stieg Larsson’s THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE with the frenzy of THE POET.



“The author is a great talent, and the story and characters are compelling.”

— Aaron C. Brown, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer



Following a family tragedy that has broken his spirit, crime reporter Will Finch returns to his news desk in San Francisco eager to reboot his career and renew his lease on life.



When he’s assigned to cover the grisly death of a witness to a multi-million dollar bitcoin fraud, Finch discovers some troubling complications: A Mercedes-Benz abandoned in the wilderness. A wounded bear. A cop who rules a remote town with an iron fist. And the witness’s fiancée — a US senator’s daughter — knows there’s something mysterious about her lover’s death. But what?



Inspired by true events, Bone Maker is the first thriller in this series of noir crime novels — a new crime trilogy that races from coastal Oregon to San Francisco, Moscow, Honolulu and Washington DC. It intersects the worlds of international finance, cryptocurrency software algorithms, and corruption that reaches from the US Senate to Turk Street in the Tenderloin District.



Be sure to read this gripping series in order: Bone Maker, Stone Eater, Lone Hunter. All three books are available now.



Bone Maker is a Whistler Independent Book Award Finalist.

Dear Reader,



If you're like me then you love reading novels by Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, John Sandford, Philip Kerr, Martin Cruz Smith, Patricia Highsmith, Stieg Larsson, Elmore Leonard and Jo Nesbo. Among many others.



And if you like those writers, then I invite you to have a look at my crime series. You can buy them all on Amazon, or pick up a free novel at my website, dfbailey.com.



Writing crime fiction isn't always easy, but it's always a thrill. When you read my novels I hope you'll share the buzz, the excitement and the adrenaline rush with me.



Like all writers, I love readers who enjoy my books, especially those who are kind enough to leave a review. Hopefully you will, too.



Happy reading,



D. F. (Don) Bailey
