Meet Lisbeth Salander, the iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide
"Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans - our punk hacker heroine is in good hands" USA Today
LISBETH SALANDER AND MIKAEL BLOMKVIST HAVE FALLEN OUT OF TOUCH
Then Blomkvist is contacted by renowned Swedish scientist Professor Balder. Warned that his life is in danger, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story - and it is a terrifying one.
More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's world-leading advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker.
It seems that Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters - and a violent criminal conspiracy that will very soon bring terror to the snowbound streets of Stockholm, to the Millennium team, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.

"Salander and Blomkvist have survived the authorship transition intact and are just as compelling as ever" New York Times
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lagercrantz's worthy, crowd-pleasing fourth installment in the late Stieg Larsson's Millennium saga opens in Sweden, where some intellectual property developed by artificial intelligence genius Frans Balder has been stolen by a video game company with ties to Russian mobsters. Crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who's casting about for a new investigative project, is about to meet with Balder when an intruder kills the scientist and puts Balder's autistic eight-year-old son in danger. Meanwhile in the U.S., the National Security Agency is hacked, and its chief of security, Edwin Needham, vows revenge. Lisbeth Salander plays a central role in both plot lines, and the pleasure resides in watching Lagercrantz (Fall of Man in Wilmslow) corral an enormous cast of characters into an intricate story revolving around the larger-than-life hacker and her desire to right wrongs, including corporate espionage, a government spying on its own citizens, and violence against the defenseless. Two new characters make strong impressions: Jan Bublanski, a Stockholm detective with a humanistic bent, and Camilla Salander, Lisbeth's twin, who sets the stage for further Millennium novels. Lagercrantz, his prose more assured than Larsson's, keeps Salander's fiery rage at the white-hot level her fans will want.
Klantrecensies
The Girl in the Spider's Web
This is a very enjoyable book. A great read. At first I needed to adjust to the different style of writing but then familiar characters reappeared, one by one and the plot quickly gains pace and excitement.
Lagercranz has developed our favourite characters with great skill and credibility. We meet old friends and learn more about them.
I hope that there will be yet another book in the style of...!!
