2019ill., br. Un'antica maledizione. Un'oscura presenza. Un paese in ostaggio. Steve Caruso, giornalista italo-canadese, viene inviato dal suo giornale a Montaguto, paesino del Sud Italia dov'è scomparso un bambino di otto anni, ritrovato l'indomani. Pochi giorni dopo, spariscono due trentenni. Nel '95 si persero le tracce di un altro ragazzino, Luigi Altieri. Gli indizi portano alla "Cappella Maestri", un monumento funerario dov'è custodito l'inquietante ritratto di un ingegnere morto a Toronto. Nel frattempo, una frana mastodontica continua la sua discesa verso valle, riportando a galla una lugubre storia. Insieme al giornalista Alberto Cataldi, Steve ingaggia una corsa contro il tempo per salvare i ragazzi, col supporto di una comunità di montagutesi di Toronto e New York. I due diventeranno testimoni di una verità terribile, tenuta nascosta per secoli sotto la nuda terra. Una terra che ingoia tutto ciò che trova sul suo cammino. Goodbye Irpinia è il primo Paper novel al mondo - un romanzo-inchiesta tra fiction e realtà che, con l'ausilio di inserti giornalistici creati ad hoc - trasporta il lettore in un viaggio reale/immaginario tra l'Italia e l'America. Ma è anche la malinconica storia dei tanti emigrati che soffrono a stare lontani dalla propria terra. Anche se, come rivela l'autore: "Puoi provare a lasciare il paese ma è il paese che non ti lascerà mai".

2018br. Giugno. Un cielo plumbeo incombe su Grado e folate di aria umida attraversano la cittadina di mare. Negli ultimi tempi Franziska non sembra godere di buona salute e ha da poco scoperto che suo marito Tommaso la tradisce. La malinconia l'ha investita come la pioggia incessante di questi giorni, e l'amico Stefano, proprietario del bar al porto, cerca di consolarla come può, a volte con un bicchiere di buon brandy. Franziska passa le sue giornate al balcone, e una sera al crepuscolo nota una figura nell'acqua. Sembra una ragazza dai capelli biondo argentati, e nei suoi quadri onirici la trasforma in una sirena. Nella grande villa accanto abita Angelina Maria, una donna anziana tormentata da ossessioni e fantasie. Entra ed esce dalle cliniche, e ha un segreto che nessuno comprende. Anche lei al tramonto ama osservare la ragazza che nuota nel mare. Quando una sera la vede scomparire tra le onde, lancia l'allarme ma non viene presa sul serio. Anche il nuovo commissario, Maddalena Degrassi, deve fare i conti con un amore finito. Quando vengono ritrovati in mare due cadaveri, non avrà solo un caso da risolvere, ma anche un passato da scoprire. Un'indagine che la porterà lontano, oltre le nuvole che sovrastano Grado.

2021br. Lunedì 28 settembre, ore 00.17. La polizia di Düsseldorf riceve una strana chiamata: qualcuno ha notato movimenti sospetti in una fabbrica abbandonata nella zona del porto. Ma quando gli agenti arrivano sul posto, si rendono subito conto che non si tratta di banali traffici: questo è un caso per la Omicidi; questo è un caso per Georg Stadler. Svegliato di soprassalto e condotto sulla scena, il commissario si trova di fronte uno spettacolo sconcertante: una pozza di sangue sul pavimento, un rasoio, uno specchio in frantumi, ma... nessun cadavere. Solo un oscuro codice tracciato sulla parete. Un mistero indecifrabile, se non fosse che a distanza di pochi giorni, in una camera di albergo, viene rinvenuto il corpo di una donna con indosso solo un paio di slip, la mano destra appoggiata sul petto in una posa innaturale. Sangue dappertutto: sulle lenzuola bianche, sul tappeto, sul collo e sui lunghi capelli della vittima. Due casi apparentemente scollegati, eppure Stadler non riesce a liberarsi da un sospetto: entrambe le scene del crimine sembrano allestite come un macabro set cinematografico. Al commissario non resta che ricorrere di nuovo all'aiuto di Liz Montario, la brillante profiler a cui è legato da una sottile attrazione. Ma stavolta anche Liz avrà del filo da torcere, perché ogni progresso nell'indagine, ogni nuova scoperta sembra convergere su un unico indiziato: lo stesso commissario Stadler.
2016brossura La "realtà aumentata" è l'ultima conquista della tecnologia nel campo dell'intrattenimento multimediale. Tutti i grandi colossi internazionali, da Google a Microsoft, da Marck Zuckenberg a Jan Koum, stanno investendo milioni di dollari sull'affare del secolo. La "Miglior Vita Corporation", del magnate Ronald O'Bryan, promette a tutti emozioni senza precedenti. I suoi cinema, dotati di tecnlogia 4D, immergeranno gli "spettatori-partecipanti" in una realtà alternativa dove sarà praticamente impossibile distinguere la realtà dalla finzione. Le prime proiezioni sembrano dare risultati eccellenti. Tutti sembrano entusiasti... ansiosi di provare questa fantastica tecnologia... ma l'uragano Carola, in arrivo sulla costa atlantica, sembra voler rimandare i facili entusiasmi degli abitanti di Portsmouth. Oltre questo... i comportamenti di coloro che hanno partecipato alle prime proiezioni appaiono strani. Le interviste mostrano persone in preda ad una strana estasi... urla... pianti... strani movimenti... È soltanto il risultato di una fortissima emozione o si cela un'ombra dietro questa tecnologia?
2015br. Islanda, inverno 2008. Un incendio uccide in modo atroce quattro disabili e il custode della residenza in cui vivevano. Le autorità individuano il colpevole in un ragazzo down che, condannato per aver appiccato il fuoco, viene rinchiuso in un ospedale psichiatrico. È ancora prigioniero della struttura quando, due anni dopo, un avvocato si interessa al suo caso e, sicura che il mistero dell'incendio nasconda altro, decide di fare chiarezza. Ma la luce di Islanda, abbagliante, sa essere ingannevole: cancella i contorni, la profondità, e anche le facciate bianche delle case borghesi, linde, ordinate, possono nascondere legno marcito. Le ricerche si impantanano, girano a vuoto, inquietanti apparizioni spettrali infestano le notti troppo lunghe e le piste più promettenti si rivelano specchietti per le allodole: la verità, questa volta, potrebbe essere troppo distante, celata nel mondo impenetrabile di un giovane autistico, nei suoi disegni che sono squarci, e nei silenzi di una donna costretta a letto dalla paralisi, in quei suoi occhi spaventati di animale in trappola. In questo romanzo, che è anche il tentativo riuscito di sottrarre l'Islanda alla spettacolarità dei suoi scorci naturali per indagarne la disgregazione umana e morale, le periferie lugubri e deserte, Yrsa Sigurdardóttir insegue una scrittura secca ma empatica, piana ma non per questo confortevole, e tende con maestria i fili di un thriller che spiazza, mozza il fiato: per il freddo, per la paura.
