2019brossura In un paese sospeso sui monti della Sardegna, durante una tormenta di neve, un misterioso ospite si reca nella casa di un assassino, recando un dono di morte. Quella notte l'assassino muore e, nell'esalare l'ultimo respiro, gli sembra di vedere sopra di lui S'Ammuntadori, uno spirito maligno, che gli sorride beffardamente. Don Paoletto, il giovane parroco, comprende che qualcosa di orribile è avvenuto in quella povera casa e lui dovrà scoprire cosa. Il lettore verrà catapultato nel terribile passato di quel paesello, in cui il senso dell'onore e della vendetta pare segnare il destino stesso degli uomini, senza che loro possano opporsi. Lo stesso Don Paoletto dovrà fare i conti con il suo passato, mentre un burattinaio muove implacabile i suoi fili. A fare da cornice, la storia stessa dell'Isola, con le sue tradizioni (L'Ardia, il culto dei morti; la festa per l'uccisione dei maiale) e le sue credenze (le surbiles; l'Erchitu e tante altre).
