Black paint: real or virtual?

Milan, an early June of an undefined year. A little girl disappears after a selfie on a social network a painting that imitates a painting by Edward Munch: Puberty. Twelve years old, milky skin, blue eyes and blond hair. It is as beautiful as it is disturbing.
His mysterious disappearance involves not only separated and affluent parents, apparently taken from their lives to their daughter, but also to a handful of characters representing a picture of our contemporaneity. Among the most determined is Marina November, aching hands for rheumatoid arthritis The charming and tenacious woman, has established certain social networks, and has been convinced that the disappearance has to do with not affected by today's miscegenation.

Black Paint is the new book by Claudia Maria Bertola, published by Morellini Editor, a thriller set in the city of Milan. «Enabled me to give a voice to a story I wanted to tell, that is, that of the disappearance of Adele, the Dark Web could have taken.
My novel is a manifesto that speaks to a society that declines in the search for ever more ephemeral things and in the loss of the values ​​that count. It speaks of imperfect heroes, of battered fathers (despite the sculpted abs) of porcelain mothers, of frangible children.
Thanks to my book I had the privilege of talking about important issues, to me, through a plot which turns yellow, which leads to the reader to be afraid, to smile, to be moved. And to hope. It leaves a bitter aftertaste, which is the awareness that the monster, if it is not within us, it is around the corner. But not necessarily at a street corner ».
