LISBETH SALANDER - Pierced, tattooed and garbed in extreme punk attire, computer hacker Salander is the touching, vulnerable but mightily determined heroine of the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s acclaimed and best-selling MILLENNIUM series. The final book to be published is THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST. Not a heroine cut from the usual detective cloth but a truly memorable one.
Sarah Broadhurst's view...
One of the major success stories to recently come out of Sweden. It’s the second part of the Millennium Trilogy which began with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and it is quite exceptional. Sadly the author died just after completing the text and never saw it published, let alone be able to bask in its success. This in hardback was the first ever book in translation to hit the top of the bestseller lists. It’s dark, complex and engrossing. A must read.
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO RETURNS The iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide. "Even more gripping and astonishing than the first" Sunday Times Lisbeth Salander can be viciously violent. Mikael Blomkvist knows it - and owes his life to it. When a criminologist and a journalist who works with Blomkvist at Millennium magazine are killed on the brink of publishing a brutal exposé of human trafficking, the evidence points in one direction. Salander's prints are on the murder weapon. But Blomkvist knows Lisbeth would never act without reason, and he cannot find one here. The victims were his friends. But so is Salander. Something much more dangerous is surely at play . . . "That rare thing - a sequel that is even better than the book that went before" Observer
