About This Book
Product Description
The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson's
internationally best-selling trilogy
Lisbeth Salander -- the heart of Larsson's two previous novels?lies in
critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care
unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more
ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to
Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend,
journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her
innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have
allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And,
on her own, she will plot revenge -- against the man who tried to kill
her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed
her life.
Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.
About the Author
Stieg Larsson, who lived in Sweden, was the editor in chief of the
magazine Expo and a leading expert on antidemocratic right-wing
extremist and Nazi organizations. He died in 2004, shortly after
delivering the manuscript for this and two subsequent novels.
Reviews
"A thoroughly gripping read . . . Lisbeth Salander, Stieg Larsson's
fierce pixie of a heroine, is one of the most original characters in a
thriller to come along in a while?a gamin, Audrey Hepburn look-alike but
with tattoos and piercings, the take-no-prisoners attitude of Lara Croft
and the cool, unsentimental intellect of Mr. Spock . . . Owes less to
the Silence of the Lambs horror genre than to something by John le Carre."
--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"The literary equivalent of a caffeine rush . . . Larsson was one of
those rare writers who could keep you up until 3 a.m. and then make you
want to rush home the next night to do it again . . . Larsson is
something like John Grisham [but] Larsson held an extra ace: the
creation of Salander."
--Newsweek
"It's over! And I feel the same sense of pleasure and loss that I did
when I watched the finale of 'The Sopranos' and the last episodes of 'Battlestar
Galactica' . . . Salander is, I promise, someone you will never forget .
. . Anyone who enjoys grounding their imaginations in hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of exciting pages about the way we live now ought
to take advantage of this trilogy."
--Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune
"Larsson has produced a coup de foudre, a novel that is complex,
satisfying, clever, moral . . . This is a grown-up novel for grown-up
readers, who want something more than a quick fix and a car chase. And
it's why the Millennium trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all
over the world."
--Guardian
"A heart-stopping showdown showcases one of crime fiction's most
unforgettable characters -- and cements Larsson's rep as one of its most
passionate and original voices."
