br. La storia si svolge a Rio de Janeiro. In tutta la città spariscono persone. All'interno delle favelas Perrez e Maria due giovani ragazzi s'innamorano, ma anche lei è una vittima. Il suo corpo sparisce nel nulla e Perrez inizia ad indagare fino alle porte del Venezuela. Qui scopre una realtà che va oltre le sue capacità investigative. Qualcuno si arricchisce con gli organi. Centinaia di corpi mutilati vengono trovati in una palude, dove pullulano le sabbie mobili. Tornato in Brasile, tutta la sua famiglia viene messa sotto protezione e spedita in Italia con una nuova identità. La sua vita sembra tornare tranquilla ed alla normalità, ma il passato non lo ha dimenticato ed il cuore di Maria si fa sentire.
br. In una tranquilla cittadina toscana, la vita di Marco Martinelli scorre serenamente, circondato dal calore di una famiglia felice, unico spiraglio tra la noia della periferia e un lavoro che non ama. Tutto improvvisamente si capovolgerà quando degli strani messaggi inizieranno ad arrivargli da una misteriosa frequenza radio: parole apparentemente senza un senso che nascondono una strada da seguire. Quando Marco riuscirà a mettere insieme tutti i tasselli mancanti, si troverà di fronte a un segreto impronunciabile, spaventosamente collegato al suo passato. Sarà infine un viaggio negli Stati Uniti, a Forest Hill, teatro di un feroce massacro, a rimettere in gioco tutta la sua esistenza. Un thriller dai toni cupi che condurrà il lettore in una straziante lotta al di là dell'umano raziocinio, frantumando quello che ognuno di noi ha di più caro: l'identità.
ill., br. Fermati! Un consiglio? Un monito? Una minaccia? Tutte le volte in cui ci si trova di fronte a questo imperativo, esiste sempre un'alternativa. Ma la scelta, qualsiasi essa sia, può cambiare le nostre vite. Succede a Carol Verbani, avvocato impegnato nella ricerca della verità su un affare di ecomafia che sconvolge il mondo politico di Pavia. Succede ad Anghela Vasilyeva, la donna che arriva in coma all'ospedale Sant'Andrea di Livorno in seguito a un incidente stradale. Succede anche a chi vive nelle nuove terre dei fuochi del Nord Italia, dove si muore senza trovare giustizia. Finché un giorno qualcosa cambia, grazie al coraggio e alla determinazione di chi non si ferma di fronte a un assassino, indagando su una scomparsa e restituendo un'identità a chi l'aveva perduta. Attraverso le storie di molte vite quotidiane, il dramma di chi cerca risposte che non ha mai avuto, avventura, suspense e lo sgretolamento dello scudo protettivo che ha sostenuto la finzione di chi non trova il coraggio di affrontare le proprie debolezze, "Fermati" alza il sipario su realtà che, in modo analogo, sono proprie di molti luoghi d'Italia. Con audiolibro letto dall'autrice.

br. Misteriose bottigliette verdi custodiscono il frutto di un'arte segreta: l'arte di ricavare da una pianta un veleno letale per gli insetti, ma anche per gli esseri umani. Incoronata Nigro, ottantenne brillante e socievole, le tiene nascoste dietro la porta della sua terrazza, finché decide di servirsene per salvare una bambina cieca dall'orrore della pedopornografia. Una storia che travalica i confini del giallo e quelli del noir, con un killer assolutamente inedito nella narrativa italiana.

br. È qualcosa di assolutamente impensabile, imprevedibile, inaccettabile, ciò che Thierry, il narratore, scopre quella mattina mentre si prepara per andare a pesca cercando di non svegliare la sua amata élisabeth. Di fronte alla casa dei suoi vicini Guy e Chantal ci sono cinque auto della polizia, ma Thierry sulle prime è solo preoccupato per i suoi amici con cui ha condiviso tanta intimità e tanti bei momenti. Il commissario Bretan non gli dice niente, gli chiede soltanto di collaborare. Solo dopo ventiquattro ore scopre la verità: il suo vicino Guy, il suo unico amico Guy è l'assassino delle ragazzine che da anni scompaiono in quella regione. Un magnifico ritratto, un romanzo teso e spietato, molto cinematografico e carico di una tensione che non viene mai meno, L'amico è stato anche uno dei libri più amati nel 2021 dai librai francesi che lo hanno eletto come il loro prediletto.
