Meet Lisbeth Salander, the iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide. "Salander remains, in Lagercrantz's hands, the enigmatic and fascinating anti-heroine in fiction" Financial Times "Salander and Blomkvist have survived the authorship transition intact and are just as compelling as ever" New York Times Lisbeth Salander is an unstoppable force. Sentenced to two months in a women's prison for saving a young boy's life by any means necessary, she refuses to say anything in her own defence. She has more important things on her mind. Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains. And not just any lead, but one that could unlock the secrets of Salander's childhood. Even in the prison system, Salander will never stop seeking the truth, driven by a childhood memory of a woman with a blazing birthmark on her neck. As if it had been burned by a dragon's fire...
