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 - 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 nothing will stop her - not the anti-Muslim gang she enrages by rescuing a young woman from their brutality; not the deadly reach from inside the Russian mafia of her long-lost twin sister, Camilla; and not the people who will do anything to keep buried knowledge of a sinister pseudo-scientific 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.

One-time Swedish government agent Piet Hoffmann is on the run: both from the life prison sentence he escaped, and from the Polish drug mafia he double-crossed. Only Hoffmann's handler, Erik Wilson, knows he now hides in Cali, Colombia, living under a false identity with his wife Zofia and sons Rasmus and Hugo. But life on the run is precarious. And so when Hoffmann, in order to survive, accepts employment as a bodyguard and hit man for the Colombian cocaine mafia, and is simultaneously approached by the US DEA to infiltrate the same cartel, he chooses to say yes to both. Hoffmann has a new, lucrative double life

Hij is een charmante man, een kritische journalist van middelbare leeftijd, en uitgever van het beroemde en beruchte tijdschrift Millennium. Zij is een jonge, gecompliceerde vrouw met piercings en tattoos én ze is een computerhacker van wereldklasse. In Wat ons niet zal doden kruisen Mikaels en Lisbeths wegen opnieuw en gaat hun verhaal van Stieg Larssons Millennium-serie verder. Het tijdschrift Millennium heeft nieuwe eigenaren gekregen. Boze tongen beweren dat Mikael Blomkvist zijn beste tijd heeft gehad. Lisbeth Salander is rusteloos. Ze neemt risico’s die ze normaal gesproken zou vermijden. Als Blomkvist een telefoontje van ene professor Frans Balder krijgt, hoopt hij met deze informatie de scoop te hebben die hijzelf en Millennium zo hard nodig hebben. Balder is een autoriteit op het gebied van kunstmatige intelligentie en zegt zeer gevoelige informatie te hebben over de Amerikaanse inlichtingendiensten. Hij voelt zich bedreigd en heeft haast om zijn verhaal te doen. Ook blijkt hij contact te hebben gehad met Lisbeth. Nog een reden voor Blomkvist om Balder op te zoeken. Maar de ontmoeting loopt niet zoals gepland.

A shameful past and a secret worth killing for - a vivid tale of suspense from one of Sweden's finest crime writers.

It’s midsummer in Sweden—when the light lingers through dawn and a long, isolating winter finally comes to an end. In this magical time, a brutal killer has chosen to strike. A female priest—who made enemies and acolytes in equal number—has been found hanging in her church. And a big-city lawyer quite acquainted with death enters the scene as police and parishioners try to pick up the pieces.... Not long ago, attorney Rebecka Martinsson had to kill three men in order to stop an eerily similar murder spree—one that also involved a priest. Now she is back in Kiruna, the region of her birth, while a determined policewoman gnaws on the case and people who loved or loathed the victim mourn or revel in her demise. The further Rebecka is drawn into the mystery—a mystery that will soon take another victim—the more the dead woman’s world clutches her: a world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and, above all, of sacrifice. In prose that is both lyrical and visceral, Åsa Larsson has crafted a novel of pure entertainment, a taut, atmospheric mystery that will hold you in thrall until the last, unforgettable page is turned From the Hardcover edition.

A Kiruna, una terra avvolta nell'eterna notte polare, giace il corpo massacrato del predicatore più famoso della Svezia, morto per la seconda volta. La prima volta era stato investito da un'auto ma si era risvegliato e aveva raccontato del regno fra la vita e la morte. Diventato una star, aveva usato la sua nuova forza per riunificare tre diverse congregazioni in un'unica, potente comunità religiosa. Chiamata dalla sorella della vittima, l'avvocato Rebecka torna alla sua città natale per aiutare l'amica di gioventù, sospettata dell'omicidio. Avvolte dalla neve e dal buio dell'inverno lappone, Rebecka e l'ispettrice di polizia Anna Maria Mella, in avanzato stato di gravidanza, indagano alla ricerca del vero colpevole.

When a headless corpse is found by a prison work gang on a windy Tibetan mountainside, veteran police inspector, Shan Tao Yun might seem the perfect man to solve the crime - except that he himself is serving an indefinite sentence. Desperate to close the case, the district commander has no choice but to grant him a temporary release.

For power. For passion. For glory. This epic tale follows Arn Magnusson, born in 1150 to a noble family in Western Götaland.

His family soon realizes he possesses more than just scholarly knowledge, proving invaluable during a time of turmoil following a king's murder, as ambitious lords vie for power. Amidst this chaos, Arn meets the enchanting Cecilia, but a naive mistake forces him into a foreign war, sending him to the Holy Land to fight infidels for twenty years. From the frozen landscapes of Northern Europe to the bloody battlefields of the Middle East, Arn encounters brave knights, powerful queens, and treacherous kings. This first installment of a bestselling trilogy presents a thrilling epic of betrayal, faith, blood, and love, set against the backdrop of the Holy Wars, offering a vibrant and unorthodox perspective on a Shakespearian quest for power.
