THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO RETURNS
The iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide.
"Not just the extraordinary conclusion to the trilogy, but a work that contains its own fully-rounded plot . . . Brilliant" Val Mcdermid
Lisbeth Salander is a threat to national security. Since she was thirteen, shady government forces have conspired to keep her quiet.
Prone to violence, deemed mentally disturbed, she has had her freedom removed and her every movement watched. Yet still, she is an unstoppable force for justice.
Salander has a bullet in her head. She is wanted for murder. She knows that the secrets and corruption at the heart of her country's government go right to the top.
And she won't take it lying down . . .
"Some novels claim to be page-turners, this trilogy is the real deal" Financial Times
"This is a grown-up novel for grown-up readers, who want something more than a quick fix and a car chase . . . A publishing phenomenon all over the world" Kate Mosse
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The exhilarating conclusion to bestseller Larsson's Millennium trilogy (after The Girl Who Played with Fire) finds Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant computer hacker who was shot in the head in the final pages of Fire, alive, though still the prime suspect in three murders in Stockholm. While she convalesces under armed guard, journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to unravel the decades-old coverup surrounding the man who shot Salander: her father, Alexander Zalachenko, a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to S po, Sweden's security police. Estranged throughout Fire, Blomkvist and Salander communicate primarily online, but their lack of physical interaction in no way diminishes the intensity of their unconventional relationship. Though Larsson (1954 2004) tends toward narrative excess, his was an undeniably powerful voice in crime fiction that will be sorely missed. 500,000 first printing.
