Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda.

From the author of the #1 best seller The Girl in the Spider’s Web—an electrifying thriller that begins with Alan Turing’s suicide and plunges into a post-war Britain of immeasurable repression, conformity and fear June 8, 1954. Several English nationals have defected to the USSR, while a witch hunt for homosexuals rages across Britain. In these circumstances, no one is surprised when a mathematician by the name of Alan Turing is found dead in his home in the sleepy suburb of Wilmslow. It is widely assumed that he has committed suicide, unable to cope with the humiliation of a criminal conviction for gross indecency. But a young detective constable, Leonard Corell, who once dreamed of a career in higher mathematics, suspects greater forces are involved. In the face of opposition from his superiors, he begins to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that lead him to one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war: the Bletchley Park operation to crack the Nazis’ Enigma encryption code. Stumbling across evidence of Turing’s genius, and sensing an escape from a narrow life, Corell begins to dig deeper. But in the paranoid, febrile atmosphere of the Cold War, loose cannons cannot be tolerated and Corell soon realizes he has much to learn about the dangers of forbidden knowledge. He is also about to be rocked by two startling developments in his own life, one of which will find him targeted as a threat to national security.

Salander will not wait to be hunted. When she strikes it will be a double blow: vengeance for recent atrocities, and the settling of lifelong scores. For months now Salander has been closing in on her target. She has moved from Stockholm, her hair is newly styled, her piercings are gone. She could pass for any other businesswoman.

They do not carry scars and tattoos to remind them that they have survived the unsurvivable. The new episode in David Lagercrantz''s acclaimed, internationally bestselling continuation of Stieg Larsson''s Dragon Tattoo series is a thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges the depths of Russian troll factories. It begins with the discovery of Mikael Blomkvist''s number at Millennium magazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who died with the name of a government minister on his lips. Blomkvist, at extreme risk to himself, tracks down his old friend and will protect her as far as he can. But he is powerless to crush her enemies on his own. And for Lisbeth Salander, the personal is always political - and deadly.

David Lagercrantz''s bestselling trilogy continues the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, the crime phenomenon that thrilled tens of millions of readers around the world.

In The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye, Lisbeth Salander is an unstoppable force. From inside a corrupt prison run largely by the inmates, she will stand up for what she believes in, whatever the cost. Blomkvist is given a lead for an important exposé for Millennium which could unlock the facts of Salander''s childhood, somehow connected with the memory of a woman with a blazing birthmark that looked as if it had been burned by a dragon''s fire . . . In The Girl Who Lived Twice Salander has fresh outrage to avenge. She follows the scorched trail of her twin sister to Moscow. Blomkvist fears for her safety, but he should be more concerned for himself. The murder of a homeless man on the streets of Stockholm has drawn him into a conspiracy that scales the heights of Everest and plunges to the depths of Russia''s criminal underworld. And now Lisbeth will face her nemesis. For the girl with the dragon tattoo, the personal is always political - and ultimately deadly.

A personal account of one man''s determination to climb Mount Everest alone describes how the Swedish climber accomplished his goal, within days of the 1995 tragedy that took the lives of a number of fellow climbers.

Vypadá to na nešťastnou smrt bezdomovce, avšak patoložka Fredrika Nymanová se nemůže zbavit dojmu, že s mrtvým je něco v nepořádku, a proto se spojí s Mikaelem Blomkvistem. Případ probudí Mikaelův zájem, protože žebrák prý několikrát cosi breptal o švédském ministrovi obrany Johannesu Forsellovi. Byly to jen řeči paranoidního šílence, nebo měl opravdu nějaké informace o vládě? Mikael požádá o pomoc Lisbeth Salanderovou. Ta však po pohřbu Holgera Palmgrena odjela ze Švédska a neozývá se.

Il sesto e ultimo capitolo della saga Millennium. Lisbeth Salander è scomparsa. Ha svuotato e venduto il suo appartamento in Fiskargatan, a Stoccolma, e nessuno sa dove si nasconda. Neppure dal suo computer arrivano segnali di vita, e ora Mikael Blomkvist, alle prese con una deludente inchiesta sul crollo delle borse destinata al prossimo numero di Millennium, ha bisogno del suo aiuto. Sta cercando di risalire all’identità di un senzatetto trovato morto in un parco, a Tantolunden, con in tasca il suo numero di telefono. Per quale ragione quel barbone alcolizzato che non compare in alcun registro ufficiale voleva mettersi in contatto con lui? E perché farneticava ossessivamente di Johannes Forsell, il discusso ministro della Difesa, al centro di una feroce campagna mediatica? Lisbeth, però, ha ben altro per la testa: la ragazza che odia gli uomini che odiano le donne è sulle tracce di Camilla, la sorella gemella con cui vuole regolare i conti una volta per tutte. Ma mentre cerca di chiamare a raccolta il desiderio di vendetta che l’anima da sempre, il passato torna a mettersi in mezzo, con il suo carico di violenza e distruzione. Nell’ultimo, folgorante capitolo della saga Millennium, in una caccia dove le parti continuano a invertirsi e, tra sorprendenti scoperte genetiche e misteriose fabbriche di troll, un filo di fuoco unisce le vette dell’Everest agli abissi della rete criminale russa, l’indomita hacker con il drago tatuato sulla schiena intende mettere finalmente a tacere quelle ombre, e bruciare il male alla radice.

Lisbeth Salander está preparada para la batalla final contra la única persona que, siendo idéntica a ella, es su opuesta en todo: su hermana Camilla. Pero esta vez, Lisbeth tomará la iniciativa. Ha dejado atrás Estocolmo, lleva un nuevo peinado y se ha quitado los piercings. Podría pasar por una ejecutiva más. Pero las ejecutivas no ocultan una pistola bajo la chaqueta, no son hackers expertas ni llevan cicatrices ni tatuajes que les recuerdan que han sobrevivido a lo imposible. Mikael Blomkvist, por su parte, está investigando la muerte de un mendigo del que sólo se sabe que ha fallecido pronunciando el nombre del ministro de Defensa del gobierno sueco y que guardaba el número de teléfono del periodista en el bolsillo. Mikael necesitará la ayuda de Lisbeth, pero para ella el pasado es una bomba a punto de explotar.

VUELVE LISBETH SALANDER. MILLENNIUM CONTINÚA. Millennium continúa con la esperadísima cuarta entrega de la serie de culto que marcó un antes y un después con más de 80 millones de lectores en todo el mundo. Lisbeth Salander está inquieta. Ha participado en un ataque hacker sin razón aparente y está asumiendo riesgos que normalmente evitaría. Mientras, la revista Millennium ha cambiado de propietarios. Quienes le critican, insisten en que Mikael Blomkvist ya es historia. Una noche, Blomkvist recibe la llamada del profesor Frans Balder, un eminente investigador especializado en Inteligencia Artificial quien afirma tener en su poder información vital para el servicio de inteligencia norteamericano. Su as en la manga es una joven rebelde, un bicho raro que se parece mucho a alguien a quien Blomkvist conoce demasiado bien. Mikael siente que esa puede ser la exclusiva que él y Millennium tanto necesitan, pero Lisbeth Salander, como siempre, tiene sus propios planes. En Lo que no te mata te hace más fuerte, la singular pareja aclamada por más de 80 millones de lectores en Los hombres que no amaban a las mujeres, La chica que soñaba con una cerilla y un bidón de gasolina y La reina en el palacio de las corrientes de aire continúa su historia. Ha llegado la hora de que sus caminos se crucen de nuevo. Vuelve Salander. Millennium continúa.

Mikael Blomkvist steht vor einer Entscheidung. Böse Zungen behaupten, er sei nicht länger der Journalist, der er einst war. Lisbeth Salander hingegen ist aktiv wie eh und je. Die Wege kreuzen sich, als Frans Balder, einer der weltweit führenden Experten für künstliche Intelligenz, ermordet wird. Kurz vor seinem Tod hatte er Mikael Blomkvist brisante Informationen versprochen. Als Blomkvist erfährt, dass Balder auch in Kontakt zu Lisbeth Salander stand, nimmt er die Recherche auf. Die Spur führt zu einem amerikanischen Softwarekonzern, der mit der NSA verknüpft ist. Mikael Blomkvist wittert seine Chance, die Enthüllungsstory zu schreiben, die er so dringend braucht. Doch wie immer verfolgt Lisbeth Salander ihre ganz eigene Agenda.
