'The exhilarating conclusion to bestseller Larsson's Millennium trilogy (after The Girl Who Played with Fire) finds Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant computer hacker who was shot in the head in the final pages of Fire, alive, though still the prime suspect in three murders in Stockholm. While she convalesces under armed guard, journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to unravel the decades-old coverup surrounding the man who shot Salander: her father, Alexander Zalachenko, a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to Säpo, Sweden's security police. Estranged throughout Fire, Blomkvist and Salander communicate primarily online, but their lack of physical interaction in no way diminishes the intensity of their unconventional relationship. Though Larsson (1954–2004) tends toward narrative excess, his was an undeniably powerful voice in crime fiction that will be sorely missed.'
Excellent conclusion to the spellbinding, page turning, and yes sometimes disturbing trilogy! The final novel in the series concluded the story in a very fulfilling manner.. it successfully closed out each of the individual story lines... and although it kinda felt that the murder of the two journalists was nothing more than an excuse to move the reader in a certain direction at times it was still well addressed by the end of the book... I agree... Stieg Larsson will be sorely missed.
