The Girl Who Lived Twice: A Dragon Tattoo Sampler
A free sample of sixth in the Millennium series featuring THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO More than 100 million copies sold worldwide "What will you do now?" "I shall be the hunter and not the hunted" The girl with the dragon tattoo is finally ready to confront her nemesis, the only woman who is evidently and in many ways her match. 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. But not all businesswomen have a Beretta Cheetah beneath their jacket. They do not wield the lethal power of a hacker''s genius. 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.

Fall of Man in Wilmslow

release date: May 03, 2016
Fall of Man in Wilmslow
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.

La ragazza che doveva morire

La ragazza che doveva morire
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.

Moi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Moi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic
« Pour bien jouer, il faut être fou. Pour être bon, il faut se sentir en colère. » Voilà les commentaires de Zlatan après l’un de ses premiers matches avec le PSG. Rien de surprenant pour qui a lu son incroyable autobiographie. Né en 1981, d’un père bosniaque obsédé par le passé de son pays et d’une mère croate qui travaille jour et nuit pour sa famille, il n’a que deux ans lorsque ses parents divorcent. S’ensuit une enfance douloureuse dans les quartiers difficiles de Malmö, en Suède, durant laquelle il se sent toujours à l’écart. Lui-même confie que sans le foot, il serait devenu criminel ! Dans son premier club, ses origines et son tempérament l’isolent déjà. On essaie même de l’exclure... Mais très rapidement, il est repéré et sa course vers la gloire commence : Malmö FF, Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus de Turin, Inter de Milan, Barca, AC Milan pour enfin signer avec le PSG en juillet 2012. Buteur de génie, grande gueule, formidable technicien, il suscite des polémiques à chacun de ses passages. S’il est le joueur le plus cher de l’histoire du football tous transferts cumulés (172,6 millions d’euros !), il est le seul footballeur à avoir gagné chaque année le championnat dans lequel il a joué. En Serbo-croate, Zlatan veut dire « de l’or »... Son autobiographie est à son image : sincère jusqu’à la provocation, perfectionniste jusqu’à l’excès. Et comme souvent chez les champions qui paraissent invulnérables, les failles existent. De ses souffrances à ses plus grandes fiertés, Zlatan se livre sans concessions. David Lagercrantz, qui a travaillé avec Zlatan, est aussi journaliste, romancier et biographe suédois de grande réputation. « Le livre de Zlatan va devenir un « classique » qui contribuera à changer la Suède. Il est bon, incroyablement bon. Un portrait d’une enfance digne d’un chef-d’œuvre. » Lasse Anrell, Aftonbladet Traduit de l’anglais par Olivier Villepreux
