"A Lisbeth Salander novel"--Cover.
"Continuing Stieg Larsson's Millennium series"--Cover.
Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life. The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side. Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries. Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains, one that could provide an important expose for Millennium: Salander tells him to check out Leo Mannheimer, a seemingly reputable stockbroker from Stockholm, somehow connected to the long-ago death of a child psychologist - and to the psychiatric unit where Lisbeth was an involuntary patient as a child. Lisbeth knows she is coming closer to solving the mysteries of her early life; and even within the confines of the prison, she feels the deadly influence exerted by her twin sister. Salander will stand up for what she believes in. She will find out the truth. Whatever the cost.

Please Continue this Wonderful Series! submitted by mickplu on June 20, 2018, 7:42pm I actually like these last 2 books in the series more than the original ones written by Steig Larsson. There's less violence and none of the scenes made me sick to my stomach. In this novel, Salander plays a lesser role with Blomquist encompassing most of the plot. Many of the minor characters from previous novels appear such as Plague, Bublankski and Erica. I thought the plot concerning scientific experiments on twins was intriguing and helped keep the book interesting until its end. I sincerely hope there is a 6th one to the series being written as I type!
