This is the hugely anticipated final novel in the critically acclaimed Millennium Trilogy - an international phenomenon - with over 21 million copies sold worldwide and published in 34 countries. As the novel opens, Lisbeth Salander - the heart and soul of Larsson's two previous novels (THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE and THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO) - is under close supervision in the intensive care unit of a provincial Swedish city hospital. And she's fighting for her life, and plotting her revenge against the man who tried to kill her, and the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
