Un'autrice amatissima dalla stampa e dai lettori "Deve scrivere nell'ombra. I libri sono il suo rifugio. Perché loro hanno tutte le risposte". A Vani basta notare un tic, una lieve flessione della voce, uno strano modo di camminare per sapere cosa c'è nella testa delle persone. Una empatia innata che Vani mal sopporta, visto il suo odio per qualunque essere vivente le stia intorno. Una capacità speciale che però è fondamentale nel suo mestiere. Perché Vani è una ghostwriter. Presta le sue parole ad autori che in realtà non hanno scritto i loro libri.

Una capacità innata che le ha permesso di affermarsi nel mondo dell'editoria, non senza un debito di gratitudine nei confronti dell'uomo che, per primo, ha intuito la sua bravura: Enrico Fuschi, il suo capo.

Ama i libri. Vive di letteratura. E risolve delitti. Torna l'irresistibile investigatrice creata da alice basso. Un gesto, una parola, un'espressione del viso. A Vani bastano piccoli particolari per capire una persona, per comprenderne il modo di pensare. Una dote speciale di cui farebbe volentieri a meno. Perché Vani sta bene solo con sé stessa, tenendo gli altri alla larga. Ama solo i suoi libri, la sua musica e i suoi vestiti inesorabilmente neri. Eppure, questa innata empatia è essenziale per il suo lavoro: Vani è una ghostwriter di una famosa casa editrice.
