Tim Ritter is dying. Cancer, the Big C, was eating him alive and he only had a few months left to live. Or did he?
When a gypsy at a country fair offers him a chance for a new, cancer-free life, he has to decide if he is going to live out the death sentence the doctors have handed him or if he is willing to give up the life he has lived to become her instrument of vengeance for a crime that had been committed fifty years in the past.
Does he really have a choice? A chance at a new life versus a slow, painful death …
Tim chooses life … and the consequences that come with it.

Gypsy edition by Dan Foley Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
There is cringe worthy horror in the world around us, and Dan Foley is great at latching onto these real world horrors, salting them with a little bit of the supernatural, and serving them up cold.
GYPSY is a no-nonsense tale of judgement carried out for an unspeakable attack committed on a young woman. There is no excess of language, yet the entire story unfolds as a living breathing thing. This is not the first book by Foley that I have read, and I always come away satisfied that the book had an outcome. There is no poetry here, just spare and to-the-point prose.
The characters in GYPSY are well known to anyone who lives in a small, rural town. The names of these people in your town may be different, but you know them well… the bully and his posse, the friendly waitress in the diner, the put upon waitress in the local gin mill, and the less the honorable sheriff. Real people, in a real place who live their lives in a rut.
Pick up a copy of GYPSY. You'll see what I mean.
Unnerving Magazine Review
I hardly ever know what a book is about beyond the cover art anymore. So when Gypsy started out with a gang rape I got a little worried. Rape is a nasty subject, but that does not mean it’s off-limits. It does deserve and need tact in the delivery and outcome.
There's some horrible, glorifying garbage floating around out there, and sometimes it finds its way to my , I never bother finishing such trash.
Here, with Gypsy, there was nothing to worry about, nothing about the story wore the suit of glorifying or shrugging off the notion of the heinous act. It explored, though fairly lightly, the realistic notions of a life ruined and the mental aftermath of the victims.
That out of the way, Gypsy by Dan Foley is a fun idea about a long wait, a lucky meeting, and a second chance. A dying man visits a fortuneteller’s tent and gets a second chance at life, all he has to do is murder a squad of a-holes.
There was the odd bump in the road, but for the brunt of it, nearly all the way, the story kicked along at lightning pace on a smooth surf. It was perhaps a bit too smooth now and then given the objective of this everyday man.
Essentially, Gypsy is fast, it has suspense, it has its thrills, and it does not fail to entertain. A quality speculative crime tale.
Review GYPSY by Dan Foley
Gosh I love this book. It's compactly taut, requiring only a minimal suspension of disbelief. Starting with a carnival in Vermont in 1956 (a decent carnival, where the carnies demonstrate family feeling, not the horror show type often found in fiction), we the reader quickly discover that the carnie crew, and most of the townspeople are good guys. Unfortunately, the town does contain some bad apples--or rather, one monstrous (in both character and size, most unfortunately) and his personal cache of five acolytes, for whom he constantly plays his own version of Simon Says (or else). He is seemingly unstoppable; and not too stable. When he and his followers (not equal enough to be buddies) commit a horrid crime in July 1956, his own personal enabler, his brother the Sheriff, blows it away.
Fifty years later, a seventy-two-old man, a Vietnam vet, originally from New Jersey, happens into the carnival, mostly for distraction. With brain cancer, he only has three to four months to live--until he meets his destiny and finds his purpose, discovering himself returned to 1956. His hero's quest to right a terrible wrong, to overturn a gross miscarriage of justice, and to wreak someone else's revenge. What a page-turner!
The publisher generously provided a digital copy for review purpose.
Dan Foley's GYPSY is a straight-up vengeance tale wrapped up in Ray Bradbury-esque dark fantasy. Tim Ritter is in his seventies and diagnosed with terminal cancer. Things look grim as his time on earth grows short, but the hand of Fate intervenes when he finds himself at a carnival in Vermont and Celeste, the midway gypsy, makes him a sinister proposition that will buy him a cancer-free life. I read this book virtually in one night, as Foley's style of writing runs at break-neck speed with no fillers to slow it down. What Foley DOES offer is an addictively fun narrative, filled with his usual razor-sharp wit and a touch of nostalgia that gives his tale a sense of warmth and charm in spite of the murder and mayhem. I enjoyed it, and could not put it down until I devoured the final page.
I love to see the bad guys get pay back. Dan does just that in many inventive ways. Great plot and characters.
