Story
Catania. Nella grotta di un fiume sotterraneo usata come saletta da un locale molto noto viene ritrovato il cadavere di un uomo: lo hanno accoltellato. Una brutta faccenda su cui dovrà fare luce il vicequestore Vanina Guarrasi che, come se non bastasse, da qualche settimana è pure sotto scorta. "La migliore scrittrice di storie di poliziotte in circolazione". Vincenzo La Barbera, professore di filosofia presso il liceo classico, era un tipo solitario, che usava come casa una vecchia barca a vela ormeggiata nel porto ed era amatissimo dagli studenti.

Story
La notizia di un omicidio scuote Catania, gelando gli ultimi entusiasmi della più sentita ricorrenza cittadina. Mentre nell'aria si avverte ancora l'odore acre dei fuochi d'artificio, Vanina Guarrasi è alle prese con un caso che fa scalpore. È la mattina del 6 febbraio, la festa di Sant'Agata si è appena conclusa e "la Santa", come tutti la chiamano, è rientrata nella cattedrale. Nell'atmosfera distratta, da fine evento, che pervade strade e popolazione, un uomo viene ritrovato in una pozza di sangue nell'androne del Municipio, dentro una delle Carrozze del Senato.

Story
Sono le quattro e trenta del mattino. Dalla loro barca il dottor Manfredi Monterreale e Sante Tammaro, giornalista di un quotidiano online, intravedono sulla costa un uomo che trascina a fatica una grossa valigia e la getta fra gli scogli. Poche ore dopo il vicequestore Vanina Guarrasi riceve una chiamata anonima: una voce femminile riferisce di aver assistito all'uccisione di una ragazza avvenuta quella notte in un villino sul mare. Due fatti che si scoprono legati e dànno il via a un'indagine assai più delicata del previsto.

Story
Solo un caso molto complesso può distogliere, anche se per poco, il vicequestore Vanina Guarrasi dalla caccia ai propri fantasmi e riportarla in azione. Anzi, qualcosa di più di un caso: un intrigo internazionale all'ombra dell'Etna. Esteban Torres, cubano-americano con cittadinanza italiana e residenza in Svizzera, viene trovato morto nel parcheggio dell'aeroporto di Catania; qualcuno gli ha sparato al cuore. L'uomo ha un passato oscuro, e girano voci che avesse amicizie pericolose, interessi in attività poco pulite.

Story
Arrivata da poco a Catania, Vanina sta facendo conoscenza con la città quando le piomba addosso un caso delicato, di quelli che richiederebbero anche un po’ di tatto. Non proprio la sua dote principale. Prima qualche pillola dentro vaschette di gelato, poi un omicidio. Questo è solo l'inizio di un mistero parecchio strano che il vicequestore aggiunto Giovanna Guarrasi, detta Vanina, palermitana tornata in Sicilia dopo un periodo alla questura di Milano, è chiamata a risolvere.

Publisher's summary
Un cadavere che scompare, poi riappare. Un duplice omicidio accompagnato da una macabra messinscena. Con il Capodanno alle porte, pasticcio peggiore non poteva capitare al vicequestore Vanina Guarrasi. Se poi una delle vittime è un prete, il caso diventa ancora più spinoso.
Comincia tutto in una notte di neve, sull'Etna. Il custode di un vecchio albergo in ristrutturazione chiama la Mobile di Catania: nel salone c'è una donna morta. Quando però i poliziotti arrivano sul posto, del corpo non vi è più traccia. Ventiquattr'ore dopo viene ritrovato nel cimitero di Santo Stefano, proprio il paese dove abita la Guarrasi. Al suo fianco è disteso un uomo, un sacerdote, anzi un monsignore, assai conosciuto e stimato; entrambi sono stati uccisi. Intorno a loro qualcuno ha disposto fiori, lumini, addobbi.
Il mistero si dimostra parecchio complesso, oltre che delicato, perché i conti, in questa storia, non vogliono mai tornare, un po' come nella vita di Vanina. L'aiuto del commissario in pensione Biagio Patanè può risultare al solito determinante. Quell'uomo possiede un intuito davvero speciale, ma ha il vizio di non riguardarsi. Una cattiva abitudine che, alla sua età, rischia di essere pericolosa.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Story
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?
