On the Cover:
Lisbeth Salander will have her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that nearly succeeded in deliberately destroying her life. As a traumatised victim of the care system, Slanader has learned to trust no one save herself, but this is one war she cannot wage alone. After sustaining appalling gunshot wounds to her head and her shoulder, she is in intensive care, and her most dangerous enemy is in the next-door ward.

If she survives, she is set to face murder charges. Officially under police guard, she is allowed contact with only her surgeon and her llawyer. But Mikael Blowkvist, editor at the Milleniem magazine and Salander's self-appointed guardian angel, will not give up on this strangely compelling girl. Blomkvist knows he cannot cntact her directly. He also knows that, as a world class computer specialist, Slanader just needs the right tools to have the world at her fingertips.


With the covert aid of Mikael Blomkvist and his journalists at Millennium magazine, Salander must first prove her innocence. Only then can she unmask the people behind the orrupt and secret manoeveres that ruined her childhood and remain the rotten core of Swedish society. The survivor of institutionalised abuse and violence, Salander, even in hospital, is spoiling for a fight.
