Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series continues: Lisbeth Salander must face the most important battle of her life, and will finally put her past to rest in this thriller that will “leave Salander’s legion of followers clamoring for more” (The Wall Street Journal). • Also known as the Millennium series

Mikael Blomkvist is trying to reach Lisbeth Salander—the fierce, unstoppable girl with the dragon tattoo. He needs her help unraveling the identity of a man who died with Blomkvist's phone number in his pocket—a man who does not exist in any official records and whose garbled last words hinted at knowledge that would be dangerous to important people. But Lisbeth has disappeared. She's sold her apartment in Stockholm. She's gone dark. She's told no one where she is. And no one is aware that at long last she's got her primal enemy, her twin sister, Camilla, squarely in her sights.

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

Goodreads review by Matthew on November 03, 2019

I will say this - it was better than I expected. But, it was not as good as I was hoping (despite having low expectations going in) These books, since the death of Larsson, have been fairly mediocre for me. Maybe others like them, but they just don't feel like they are awesome stories extending the pr......more

Goodreads review by James on August 02, 2022

The Girl Who Lived Twice was on my must-read summer list. I've been a fan of the Millennium series since the original author, Steig Larsson, began writing them. When he passed away and David Lagercrantz took over, I continued reading the novels and was ready for this launch last month. The first half......more

Sigo procesando lo que leí... Sólo puedo decir, Lisbeth y Mikael, merecían algo mucho mejor.......more

Goodreads review by Dimitris on January 22, 2020

Let me begin by stating that I was in favor of the continuation of Millenium series by an author other than the late Stieg Larsson and I've enjoyed the first two books ("The Girl in the Spider's Web", "The Girl Who Took An Eye for An Eye") but this one failed to meet my, admittedly high, expectation......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on September 21, 2019

A fan of the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, I've found the sequels written by this author lackluster. With this story, he's done a good job researching areas like genetics, added new characters and brought back the memories of Zalachenko's physical abuse of his wife and daughters. Bringing Lisbeth's sister,......more


Quotes

“A murder mystery inside an espionage conspiracy wrapped in an action thriller—a unique concoction that should leave Salander’s legion of followers clamoring for more.” —The Wall Street Journal

"A quest for revenge and atonement that plumbs the depths of Russian troll factories and scales the heights of Mount Everest." —TIME

"Salander and Blomkvist are just as compelling as ever." —The New York Times

"If this turns out to be, as Lagercrantz has suggested, the final installment in the series, it's going out on a resounding tonic chord ... Salander is what she’s always been: a force to be reckoned with, and one of the most remarkable series leads in the history of crime fiction." —Booklist, starred review

"Not only do the matter-of-fact style and intricate plotting and sexy, chilling atmosphere feel very true to the original novels, but Lagercrantz transcends the source material." —Esquire

"If Lagercrantz strays into Smilla's Sense of Snow levels of unlikelihood in weaving all these threads, he writes economically, and though he works ground he's covered in his two earlier contributions to the series, disbelief suitably suspended, it all makes for good bloody fun. Formulaic, but it's a formula that still works, as Salander and assorted bad guys spread righteous mayhem wherever they go." —Kirkus Reviews

“[An] exciting third addition to Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series ... A tantalizing ending hints at important changes for Blomkvist and Lisbeth ahead. Series fans will be pleased with the thoughtful way Lagercrantz develops the character of their beloved action heroine in this worthy outing.” Publishers Weekly

"Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans—our punk hacker heroine is in good hands." —USA Today
