"The exhilarating conclusion to bestseller Larsson's Millennium trilogy (after The Girl Who Played with Fire) finds Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant computer hacker who was shot in the head in the final pages of Fire, alive, though still the prime suspect in three murders in Stockholm. While she convalesces under armed guard, journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to unravel the decades-old coverup surrounding the man who shot Salander: her father, Alexander Zalachenko, a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to Säpo, Sweden's security police. Estranged throughout Fire, Blomkvist and Salander communicate primarily online, but their lack of physical interaction in no way diminishes the intensity of their unconventional relationship."
Original tite: Luftslottet som sprängdes

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and I am deeply sorry that the author no longer exists to give us the joy of reading subsequent adventures of Lisbeth and Mikael... :(
There are just 2 minor details that made the book short of perfect:
1-when Lisbeth finds that Erika is being stalked and decides to help her, there is one piece of information that she couldn't possibly know - the content of the emails Erika received;
2-it's difficult to believe that Mikael could so easily mislead the members of the "Zalachenko club"...
Otherwise it's a story with great complexity, and a number of interesting characters, that is nicely put together and never failed to captivate me :)
