Genre: Fiction
The last book in the Millennium Trilogy and probably slower than the other two but its climax worth reading.
Salander is admitted to Sahlgrenska Hospital with bullets in her brain, hip, and shoulder and the man who discovered her is none other than Millenium's reporter - Mikael Blomkvist. Alexander Zalachenko is also admitted with an axe wound in his head, a wound caused by his daughter - Lisbeth Salander, when she tried to kill him.
The real story is what Blomkvist knows but the Swedish media are delighted when Salander is captured. After all, she was wanted for 3 murders! But suddenly Zalachenko is murdered and Salander's allies realize that the war is still on. There are people who would go to any length to protect the real secret. And they are the people who are in control.
Annika Giannini, Blomkvist lawyer sister decides to fight the case for Salander. It will be long fight but armed with Salander's hand written biography she finally puts the whole truth in the courtroom to the amazement of everyone and manages to acquit Salander of every single charge.
The book ends with Salander having the final showdown with her half brother Ronald Niedermann but this time she uses a clever ploy to eliminate him without involving herself showing that she has finally managed to re-enter the society she was so carefully thrown out of.
The 3 books are a fiction reader's delight and if you buy, buy the whole set at once.
