In this New York Times Notable Book, the stunning third novel in Stieg Larsson's wildly popular Millennium series and the winner of a Glass Key Award in Scandinavia, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital with a bullet wound to her head. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed vulnerable citizens, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence.

"Fans will not be disappointed: this is another roller-coaster ride that keeps you reading far too late into the night."—Evening Standard (London)
