Los lectores que terminaron La chica que soñaba con una cerilla y un bidón de gasolina pueden preferir descubrir por sí mismos cómo continúa la serie y el destino de Lisbeth Salander. Lisbeth no está muerta, pero su situación es crítica: con una bala en el cerebro, necesita un milagro o un cirujano excepcional para sobrevivir. Pasará semanas en el hospital, donde un peligroso paciente, Alexander Zalachenko, sigue acechándola. Desde su cama, Lisbeth lucha por mantenerse alerta, consciente de que sus habilidades informáticas serán su mejor defensa. Mientras tanto, Erika Berger se encuentra inmersa en las luchas de poder del periódico Svenska Morgon-Posten, que atraviesa una crisis de ventas y anunciantes, dejando a Mikael en soledad. Aunque Lisbeth parece haberlo apartado de su vida, a medida que avanza en sus investigaciones y se revelan las oscuras razones detrás del complot contra ella, Mikael se da cuenta de que no puede confiar en la Justicia para protegerla. Con acusaciones graves que mantienen a Lisbeth aislada, Kalle Blomkvist deberá idear un plan para llegar hasta ella, ayudarla y recordarle que siempre estará a su lado.

Las vidas de Lisbeth y Mikael parecen haberse separado por completo, pero entretanto... una muchacha, atada a una cama, soporta un día tras otro las horribles visitas de un ser despreciable y, sin decir palabra, sueña con una cerilla y un bidón de gasolina y con la forma de provocar el fuego que acabe con todo.

A man starts a double life after a secret lottery win. But he can’t know just how sour his new life will turn . . .

An international sensation, The Royal Physician's Visit magnificently recasts the dramatic era of Danish history when Johann Friedrich Struensee -- court physician to mad young King Christian -- stepped through an aperture in history and became the holder of absolute power in Denmark. His is a gripping tale of power, sex, love, and the life of the mind, and it is superbly rendered here by one of Sweden's most acclaimed writers. A charismatic German doctor and brilliant intellectual, Struensee used his influence to introduce hundreds of reforms in Denmark in the 1760s. He had a tender and erotic affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde, who was unsatisfied by her unstable, childlike husband. Yet Struensee lacked the subtlety of a skilled politician and the cunning to choose enemies wisely; these flaws proved fatal, and would eventually lead to his tragic demise.

In the heart of summer, the country swelters in a fug of heat. In the beautiful forested lake-town of Sorbinowo, Sergeant Merwin Kluuge's tranquil existence is shattered when he receives a phone-call from an anonymous woman. She tells him that a girl has gone missing from the summer camp of the mysterious The Pure Life, a religious sect buried deep in the woods. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is recruited to help solve the mystery. But Van Veeteren's investigations at The Pure Life go nowhere fast. The strange priest-like figure who leads the sect - Oscar Yellineck - refuses even to admit anyone is missing. Things soon take a sinister turn, however, when a young girl's body is discovered in the woods, raped and strangled; and Yellineck himself disappears. Yet even in the face of these new horrors, the remaining members of the sect refuse to co-operate with Van Veeteren, remaining largely silent. As the body count rises, a media frenzy descends upon the town and the pressure to find the monster behind the murders weighs heavily on the investigative team. Finally Van Veeteren realises that to solve this disturbing case, faced with silence and with few clues to follow, he has only his intuition to rely on ...

Around a marvellous love story, Vallgren paints a cast of grotesques in a magical and atmospheric tour of 19th Century Europe.

Soon Munster will find himself interviewing the Leverkuhn family, including the eldest - Irene - a resident of a psychiatric clinic. And as he delves deeper into the family's history, he will discover dark secrets and startling twists, which not only threaten the clarity of the case - but also his life...

Brutta giornata per Janek Miller: i postumi di una sbornia colossale, i ricordi pochi e confusi e il cadavere della sua giovane e amatissima moglie, Eva, nella vasca da bagno. Fin troppo scontato il verdetto: colpevole. Sei anni, la pena. Ma il commissario Van Veeteren non è convinto della sua colpevolezza e insieme alla sua squadra scava nel passato di Eva. Un passato che nasconde molti segreti: un precedente matrimonio finito dopo la morte per annegamento del figlio di quattro anni, un padre violento, un gemello sparito in Canada, un antico fidanzato morto in circostanze strane.
