Description

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this “thoroughly gripping” (New York Times) continuation of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, a bullet in her head. But she's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll stand trial for three murders. • Also known as the Millennium series

In the next installment of the Millennium series, with the help of Mikael Blomkvist, Salander will need to identify those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she'll seek revenge—against the man who tried to kill her and against the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.

Look for the latest book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons, coming soon!

  • Clever twists

    Even knowing it’s fiction I was still Intrigued by the processes of trial and journalism. Many characters trying to do the right thing in not always the right way. And I thought it added more to the book series with clever twists.

  • Thrilling and Captivating

    Thrilling from the first sentence of the first book, and Larson did a great job at the end, which too often seems not to be the case. Couldn’t put these down!

    When you first open this book you will be thrown into a world of mystery, crime, and drama. The writer is extremely adept at introducing new characters with an insurmountable flare. Although there are times when it seems the newest character is of no concern to the overall story, Larsen effectively explains why they are integral to the overall outcome of the story. His explanation of the physical surroundings in the series makes it easy to follow the characters actions, even if having never stepped foot on Swedish soil. Lisbeth Salander is a character to be pitied, awed, hated, feared, and admired! RIP Mr. Larsen

  • The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy

    All three books are exciting, well written and impossible to put down. The Girl Who Plays With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest are actually part one and two of the same story in which neither book stands alone. All three are excellent and well worth the read.

    Not as good as the first two because Lizbeth is not featured as much.

  • None to compare

    By far the best series of books of the new millennium! We can only speculate what Mr. Larsson might have produced had he lived. I wished the stories had never ended.

    Almost did not read this book after reading "Tattoo". But as it was, this was a fantastic read and almost impossible to put down. Highly recommend "Hornets Nest" to anyone that likes fiction.
