À Stockholm, un SDF est retrouvé mort dans un parc du centre-ville – certains de ses doigts et orteils amputés. Dans les semaines précédant sa mort, on l’avait entendu divaguer au sujet de Johannes Forsell, le ministre de la Défense suédois. S’agissait-il des délires d’un déséquilibré ou y avait-il un véritable lien entre ces deux hommes ? Michael Blomqvist a besoin de l’aide de Lisbeth Salander. Mais cette dernière se trouve à Moscou, où elle a l’intention de régler ses comptes avec sa sœur Camilla.
La fille qui devait mourir – le grand finale de David Lagercrantz dans la série Millénium – est un cocktail redoutable de scandales politiques, jeux de pouvoir à l’échelle internationale, technologies génétiques, expéditions en Himalaya et incitations à la haine sur Internet qui trouvent leurs origines dans des usines à trolls en Russie.
Suite aux infractions qu’elle a commises en sauvant le petit garçon autiste dans Ce qui ne me tue pas, Lisbeth Salander est incarcérée dans une prison de haute sécurité pour négligence constituant un danger public. Lorsqu’elle reçoit la visite de son ancien tuteur, Holger Palmgren, les ombres d’une enfance qui continuent à la hanter ressurgissent. Avec l’aide de Mikael Blomkvist, elle se lance sur la piste de crimes d’honneur et d’abus d’État, exhumant de sombres secrets liés à la recherche génétique.
From the author of the #1 international best seller The Girl in the Spider's Web: the new book in the Millennium series, which began with Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo, the brilliant hacker, the obstinate outsider, the volatile seeker of justice for herself and others-even she has never been able to uncover the most telling facts of her traumatic childhood, the secrets that might finally, fully explain her to herself. Now, when she sees a chance to uncover them once and for all, she enlists the help of Mikael Blomkvist, the editor of the muckraking, investigative journal Millennium. And she will let nothing stop her-not the Islamists she enrages by rescuing a young woman from their brutality; not the prison gang leader who passes a death sentence on her; not the deadly reach of her long-lost twin sister, Camilla; and not the people who will do anything to keep buried knowledge of a sinister pseudoscientific experiment known only as The Registry. Once again, Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, together, are the fierce heart of a thrilling full-tilt novel that takes on some of the most insidious problems facing the world at this very moment.
From the author of the #1 best seller The Girl in the Spider's Web-an electrifying thriller that begins with Alan Turing's suicide and plunges into a post-war Britain of immeasurable repression, conformity and fear
June 8, 1954. Several English nationals have defected to the USSR, while a witch hunt for homosexuals rages across Britain. In these circumstances, no one is surprised when a mathematician by the name of Alan Turing is found dead in his home in the sleepy suburb of Wilmslow. It is widely assumed that he has committed suicide, unable to cope with the humiliation of a criminal conviction for gross indecency. But a young detective constable, Leonard Corell, who once dreamed of a career in higher mathematics, suspects greater forces are involved.
In the face of opposition from his superiors, he begins to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that lead him to one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war: the Bletchley Park operation to crack the Nazis' Enigma encryption code. Stumbling across evidence of Turing's genius, and sensing an escape from a narrow life, Corell begins to dig deeper. But in the paranoid, febrile atmosphere of the Cold War, loose cannons cannot be tolerated and Corell soon realizes he has much to learn about the dangers of forbidden knowledge.
He is also about to be rocked by two startling developments in his own life, one of which will find him targeted as a threat to national security.
