L'ottavo giorno di Katarina
"L'ottavo giorno di Katarina" (Prefazione della criminologa Roberta Bruzzone) è il terzo romanzo per Gian Maria Aliberti Gerbotto. Il libro è stato presentato anche nella trasmissione Milleeunlibro di Rai 1. Disseminati nella trama del giallo si trovano decine di personaggi noti e meno noti della Provincia Granda, tutti citati con i loro veri nomi e cognomi, così come sono reali i luoghi e le ambientazioni del thriller che spaziano nelle città della Granda. "La storia si snoda intorno alla scomparsa di una donna, rinomata pittrice. Nel giro di poche ore prende corpo l'ipotesi di un reato. Dai rilievi nel grande studio-atelier della donna salta fuori una traccia di sangue, sul tappeto, vicino a una tela appena iniziata. Scatta la caccia all'uomo. Si fa strada l'ipotesi dell'omicidio, anzi del femminicidio. Chi era l'apprendista a cui Katarina stava dando lezione? Il marito, prima sospettato e poi scagionato, ricorda che sua moglie aveva parlato di un allievo da poco residente in città. L'americano John Alberti viene accusato di essere l'amante rifiutato e viene arrestato..." Spiega la celebre coppia di scrittori noir Tallone&Carillo nella Sinossi del libro.

Omicidio al Vescovado
La provincia di Cuneo è sconvolta, il noto vignettista Danilo Paparelli viene trovato ucciso nell'ufficio del Vescovo di Saluzzo. E da quel momento, di monsignor Cristiano Bodo non vi è più traccia. E' sparito! La notizia è di quelle che fanno il giro delle redazioni in un istante. Il maresciallo Siviero deve indagare, mentre gli organi di stampa volano sul caso e puntano il dito contro l'alto prelato. Del resto, l'irriverente Paparelli aveva pubblicato solo pochi giorni prima una vignetta che ironizzava aspramente sul vescovo, generando accese discussioni e levate di scudi a favore di Sua Eccellenza e contro l'impudente disegnatore cuneese. Gli inquirenti però non vedono vie d'uscita. Che sia proprio lui l'assassino? E che adesso sia in fuga? La scomparsa del vescovo è forse una prova schiacciante della sua colpevolezza. I giorni passano e il mistero si infittisce. Chi troverà la soluzione del giallo? E sarà quella immaginata? Massimo Tallone

We Women of Tehran
Originally written for the stage, "We, the Women of Tehran" illustrates from a female standpoint the origins and contradictions of the Iranian capital, and the rights of religious minorities and women. It showcases women who have played a leading role in various disciplines and sports but who all too often have simply become an element in the regime's propaganda. The volume presents a lively narrative with verses from the great Persian poets and a hefty dose of irony: as a way to laugh about complex issues and dismantle misleading stereotypes.
