2014br. Il filo conduttore del libro è l'amore che l'anziano professore sente dolcissimo per la giovane contessa e quello violento e tragico che unisce la giovane a un amante crudele. Sullo sfondo i paesaggi del lago con le loro corrispondenze con gli stati d'animo della protagonista.
2020br. L'incontro tra Franco, brillante e affascinante insegnante universitario, e Elisa, laureanda in biologia, cambia improvvisamente le loro vite. La ragazza, proveniente da una famiglia modesta, si ritrova a vivere un crescendo di emozioni fra amore, carriera e soldi che rendono roseo il suo cammino, fino a quando il destino ne cambia il percorso. Da quel momento, una serie di inquietanti telefonate e l'arrivo di Matteo, misterioso vicino di casa, danno inizio a un incubo che sembra senza fine. Neppure l'amore delle persone che la circondano riesce ad attenuare le sue paure, fino a insinuare in loro il dubbio che le sue siano solo ossessioni immaginarie. Ma cosa si cela veramente al di là della finestra dalla quale Elisa vede scorrere quella vita che le è stata portata via?
2015brossura Nella contea inglese di Devon, precisamente nella cittadina montana di Talon city, strani omicidi si susseguono a catena. Ogni cadavere presenta un foro nel petto e due V incrociate marchiate sulla fronte. A capo delle indagini si trova lo sceriffo Rudolf Maier, che scosso da un'inquietante visione, rinuncia al caso, lasciando il posto al giovane vicesceriffo Frank Murphy, che nel tentativo di far luce sulla vicenda, si troverà in un vortice di pericoli, intrighi e colpi di scena che lo metteranno a dura prova...
2017br. Totò e Lilluzzo ancora assieme, nella veste di improbabili investigatori, inciamperanno in un complesso caso di omicidi: tre uomini di Chiesa, ecclesiastici, religiosi, sacerdoti, uccisi nell'arco di poco tempo. Quali le ragioni e quale nesso può esserci? La narrazione, frutto esclusivo della fantasia dell'autore, ha come cornice quella autentica meraviglia naturale che è lo stretto di Messina. Nel contesto descritto Cariddi, il mostro mitologico, viene, forse impropriamente, eletto a metafora delle peggiori passioni che agitano l'animo umano. Pregiudizi, ignoranza, violenza, avidità si contendono il governo delle coscienze. Solo la forza della ragione, l'amore e l'amicizia possono contrastarle.

2022ril. Non importa quanto tu vada lontano. Certe verità rimarranno sempre ad aspettarti. Long Island. C'è un cielo senza nuvole il giorno di settembre in cui le ceneri di Martin Flynn, detective della Omicidi, vengono gettate in mare. Una cerimonia senza fronzoli, come l'avrebbe voluta lui. Discorsi sulla lealtà e sul coraggio, sull'onestà e la bravura, e sulle amate uscite in barca, a pesca con gli amici. Ma un funerale è spesso dove si raccontano le menzogne peggiori. Lo sa bene Nell Flynn, la figlia di Martin. Andata via da Long Island anni prima, appena maggiorenne, Nell si è fatta una vita altrove, e anche se adesso è un'agente dell'FBI, non si può dire che abbia voluto seguire le orme del padre. Tutt'altro: da quel padre, infatti, ha cercato tutta la vita di scappare. Perché, dopo la morte della moglie, uccisa in circostanze misteriose quando Nell era solo una bambina, Martin non è più stato lo stesso. E adesso Nell è tornata a casa per un ultimo saluto a quell'uomo che non è riuscita a perdonare. Di lì a poco, il cadavere smembrato di una ragazza viene ritrovato tra le dune di sabbia del vicino Shinnecock County Park, a un anno di distanza da un altro omicidio molto simile. Nell viene così coinvolta in un'indagine che la tocca da vicino, e si preannuncia costellata di domande senza risposte. Domande che, per Nell, diventano sempre più assillanti quando capirà che in gioco c'è molto di più che la ricerca di un assassino: perché l'ombra del sospetto si allunga sulla sua stessa famiglia, e su quel padre di cui, in realtà, ha sempre saputo troppo poco.
