2019ril. Natasha è fresca di nozze e la sua vita è praticamente perfetta: ha una casa da sogno, suo marito Nick è molto premuroso e ama alla follia la sua bellissima bimba di nome Emily. C'è solo una cosa che stride nel quadretto armonioso della sua vita: Jen, la ex moglie di suo marito. È una donna invadente e non sembra essersi affatto rassegnata all'idea di essere stata lasciata. Nick con lei è piuttosto accondiscendente, e Natasha finisce sempre per lasciar perdere perché si fida di suo marito e dei suoi sentimenti. Un giorno Natasha torna a casa e scopre che Nick e Emily sono svaniti nel nulla senza lasciare traccia. Persino le loro cose non ci sono più. Perché Nick avrebbe dovuto fare una cosa del genere? Le ore passano e l'angoscia attanaglia la giovane donna che, mettendo da parte tutto l'orgoglio pur di ritrovare la sua bambina, si decide a chiedere aiuto all'ultima persona al mondo da cui vorrebbe un favore: Jen. Nonostante l'abbia sempre considerata invadente e si trovi a disagio a parlare con lei, la disperazione le suggerisce che forse la ex moglie di Nick potrebbe essere l'unica a sapere qualcosa in grado di aiutarla. Ma Natasha può davvero fidarsi delle sue parole?

2018br. Durante un'estate torrida, il giornalista Leo Malinverno è in vacanza con Eimì - la sua ragazza greca, di vent'anni più giovane -ma decide di tornare in una Roma che sembra non voler chiudere per ferie, quando riceve la telefonata dell'amico vicequestore Jacopo Guerci. Il secondo dei delitti compiuti con un preciso rituale, in cui alle vittime vengono asportati lembi di pelle tatuata, fa supporre agli inquirenti che possa trattarsi dell'azione di un temibile serial killer. Il Tatuatore, come presto viene battezzato, è spietato e sembra avere un progetto macabro, difficile da decodificare. Fra tanto sangue sparso, amici malati, scontri in redazione, complicazioni familiari e dubbi sentimentali, Malinverno inizia una sua inchiesta, parallela all'indagine dei carabinieri: e di pari passo allo sciogliersi del caso, accanto alla palese follia del Tatuatore scopre un'altra storia, non meno atroce. In questo secondo romanzo che ha per protagonista l'affascinante Leo Malinverno, Sabatini intreccia in modo magistrale una trama classicamente 'nera' all'indagine psicologica, mostrandoci che la faccia del Male può avere tante, tantissime sfumature. E spesso si cela sotto la coltre di una infida normalità.
2020br. Si chiamano Quincy, Samantha e Lisa. Tre ragazze molto diverse, che hanno una sola cosa in comune: sono le uniche sopravvissute a tre orribili massacri. Non si sono mai incontrate, ma la stampa le ha riunite sotto lo stesso nome: Final Girls. Sono passati dieci anni da quel weekend a Pine Cottage, dove Quincy e i suoi amici avrebbero festeggiato il compleanno di Janelle. Finché la vacanza non si è trasformata in un film horror: un uomo fa irruzione nella baita e ammazza tutti i presenti. Tutti tranne Quincy, che con il vestito rosso di sangue riesce miracolosamente a fuggire tra gli alberi, incrociando i fari dell'auto di un poliziotto. Adesso Quincy ha una vita normale, un fidanzato, un blog di cucina, ma soffre ancora di attacchi di panico e non ricorda quasi niente di quella notte, nemmeno la faccia del killer. Samantha invece si è nascosta chissà dove per sfuggire alla pressione dei media, mentre Lisa, vivace e brillante, ha scritto un libro, e la sua faccia compare su tutti i social. Così, quando la ragazza viene ritrovata con le vene tagliate, Quincy non può credere che si sia uccisa. E i dubbi aumentano quando alla sua porta ricompare all'improvviso Samantha: a cosa mira e cosa ha fatto in tutto questo tempo? Può veramente fidarsi di lei? Ora sono rimaste soltanto in due, e qualcuno sembra voler portare a termine ciò che ha iniziato molto tempo prima...
