Since then, Bello's has published seven novels, which have been translated into a dozen languages, such as German, Russian, Greek and Japanese. Five of them are available in English : The Falsifiers (Kindle Edition, 2015), The Pathfinders (Kindle Edition, 2016), An American Novel (Kindle Edition, 2016), The Disappearance of Emilie Brunet (Kindle Edition, 2016), and The Missing Piece (ISBN 0156013371).[1]
