      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.

      Racconti inediti dei maestri del giallo svedese

      I successi editoriali degli ultimi anni hanno mostrato al mondo l'eccellenza del giallo scandinavo, con autori che si sono imposti sulla scena internazionale con i loro personaggi, il sorprendente realismo, il contrasto seducente tra un'immagine quasi idilliaca di quiete e benessere e l'efferatezza di crimini incomprensibili. Dalle suggestive atmosfere di un nord selvaggio degli inizi del secolo scorso di Åsa Larsson alla fantascienza di un giovanissimo Stieg Larsson, questa raccolta di storie inedite di alcuni dei maggiori scrittori nordici di suspense fornisce un prezioso sguardo d'insieme sul giallo svedese. Dalla narrazione più classica di Sjöwall e Wahlöö al delizioso metaracconto di due maestri come Henning Mankell e Håkan Nesser - che ci accompagnano in una strana notte nella vita dei loro due più famosi protagonisti -, fino alla vena mistica di Tove Alsterdal e alla magia dell'isola di Öland raccontata da Johan Theorin, troviamo in queste pagine tutte le sfumature del genere. Autori noti e autori da scoprire compongono una raccolta che svela il lato oscuro della Svezia con le sue ombre più profonde, a riprova del perché il giallo nordico ha stregato milioni di lettori nel mondo.
