Claire Lidman died fourteen years ago.
So why does she appear in the background of a recent holiday snap taken
in Venice?
Her husband brings the anomaly to Hans Rekke and Micaela Vargas.
Initial scepticism gives way to cautious belief, but Rekke is falling
apart again and Vargas has her own problems. Her gangster brother is
threatening to silence her if she doesn't get off his case.
Meanwhile, Rekke's daughter Julia has a new boyfriend she's determined
to keep secret. He sees something in her she can't see herself, but
there are hints of a darker side.
Most troubling of all, Rekke is hearing whispers of a name he hasn't
heard for years. A rival from his youth whose restless evil links all
the threads in this incipient case. The pieces are laid and he's
already one move ahead. The name of the game is revenge.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO HAS FRESH OUTRAGE TO AVENGE As
Salander follows the scorched trail of her twin sister to Moscow,
Blomkvist fears for her safety. He should, perhaps, be more
concerned for himself. The murder of a homeless man on the streets
of Stockholm has drawn him into a conspiracy that scales the
heights of Everest and plunges to the depths of Russia's criminal
underworld. And now Lisbeth will face her nemesis. For the girl
with the dragon tattoo, the personal is always political - and
ultimately deadly. "A unique concoction that should leave
Salander's legion of followers clamoring for more" Tom Nolan, Wall
Street Journal Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding
A gripping new thriller from the bestselling author of THE GIRL IN
THE SPIDER'S WEB "A classic murder mystery . . . one Holmes himself
would have loved to solve" Independent "Fans of dark Swedish crime
will love this moody thriller" The Sun "A nerve-racking political
thriller with the most exciting detective duo in a long time. Bring
on their next case" Romy Hausmann, author of Dear Child "A rich,
engrossing novel" Literary Review "Complex and dark" Irish
Independent The launch of a new series inspired by Sherlock Holmes.
A murder investigation brings together two unlikely allies in a
race to uncover a shadowy international conspiracy. Professor Hans
Rekke: born into a wealthy Stockholm family, world authority on
interrogation techniques, capable of vertiginous feats of logic and
observation . . . But he might just fall apart when the going gets
tough, leading to substance abuse and despair. Micaela Vargas:
community police officer, born to Chilean political refugees in a
tough suburb, with two brothers on the shady side of the law.
Vargas feels she has something to prove. She's tenacious and
uncompromising, but she needs Rekke's unique mind to help her solve
the case. Rekke has it all - wealth, reputation - but also a
tendency to throw it all away. He needs Vargas to help him get back
on an even keel so he can focus his mind on finding the killer
before they're both silenced for good. Translated from the Swedish
by Ian Giles

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO IS BACK WITH A UK NUMBER ONE
BESTSELLER Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist have not been in
touch for some time. Then Blomkvist is contacted by renowned
Swedish scientist Professor Balder. Warned that his life is in
danger, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants
Millennium to publish his story - and it is a terrifying one. More
interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's world-leading advances in
Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female
superhacker. It seems that Salander, like Balder, is a target of
ruthless cyber gangsters - and a violent criminal conspiracy that
will very soon bring terror to the snowbound streets of Stockholm,
to the Millennium team, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.
The Girl in the Spider's Web is book four in the Millennium series.
Book five, The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye, was published in
September 2017.
Meet Lisbeth Salander, the iconic character who has captivated 100
million readers worldwide "Expertly told, the plot crackles with

TO AVENGE As Salander follows the scorched trail of her twin sister

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO LIVES ON. Lisbeth Salander is an
unstoppable force: Sentenced to two months in Flodberga women's
prison for saving a young boy's life by any means necessary,
Salander 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.
For him, it looks to be an important expose for Millennium. For
her, it could unlock the facts of her childhood. Even from a
corrupt prison system run largely by the inmates, Salander will
stand up for what she believes in, whatever the cost. And she will
seek the truth that is somehow connected with her childhood memory,
of a woman with a blazing birthmark on her neck - that looked as if
it had been burned by a dragon's fire . . . The tension, power and
unstoppable force of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye are
inspired by Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, as Salander and
Blomkvist continue the fight for justice that has thrilled millions
of readers across the world. Translated from the Swedish by George

Daring, flashy, innovative, volatile--no matter what they call him,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of soccer's brightest stars. A
top-scoring striker with Paris Saint-Germain and captain of the
Swedish national team, he has dominated the world's most storied
teams, including Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and AC
Milan. But his life wasn't always so charmed.
Born to Balkan immigrants who divorced when he was a toddler,
Zlatan learned self-reliance from his rough-and-tumble
neighborhood. While his father, a Bosnian Muslim, drank to forget
the war back home, his mother's household was engulfed in chaos.
Soccer was Zlatan's release. Mixing in street moves and trick
plays, Zlatan was a wild talent who rode to practice on stolen
bikes and relished showing up the rich kids--opponents and
teammates alike. Goal by astonishing goal, the brash young outsider
grew into an unlikely prodigy and, by his early twenties, an
international phenomenon.
Told as only the man himself could tell it, featuring stories of
friendships and feuds with the biggest names in the sport, "I Am
Zlatan" is a wrenching, uproarious, and ultimately redemptive tale
for underdogs everywhere.
Praise for "I Am Zlatan"
"Terrific . . . Far more insightful than your typical jock memoir,
Ibra's book tells his story of growing up as the son of immigrants
in Sweden and pulls no punches when it comes to his opinions of
some of the biggest names in the game."--"Sports Illustrated"
"The most compelling autobiography ever to appear under a
footballer's name."--"The Guardian"
"The story of Zlatan--from his days as an immigrant kid juggling a
soccer ball so he won't get bullied to his emergence as the genius
player who scored the greatest goal ever--is as compelling and
fancy-footed as his game."--Aleksandar Hemon, National Book Award
finalist and author of "The Lazarus Project"
"I love this book. I love it because it's so much bigger than
soccer. "I Am Zlatan" is a story of hope and grit and what an
immigrant kid who comes from nothing can accomplish with hard work
and belief in himself. It's also a beautiful window into our new,
more open, more diverse world."--Marcus Samuelsson, bestselling
author of "Yes, Chef"
"Probably the bestselling European immigrant's tale since Zadie
Smith's "White Teeth" . . . Once you get past the obligatory
snigger prompted by the phrase 'footballer's autobiography, ' you
can see that Zlatan's book strangely resembles an earlier
immigrant's tale: "Portnoy's Complaint."""--Financial Times
"
"He is skillful. He is outspoken. He is Zlatan."--"The New York
Times"
" "
"The best sports autobiography in years."--"PolicyMic"
