Seit der Entdeckung des neuartigen Virus NCoLV gibt es bisher nur eine einzige Person, die die Infizierung überlebt hat: Hanna, die Frau von IT-Professor Eric Söderqvist. Eric war es gelungen, an die einzige existierende Dosis des Gegenmittels zu kommen, doch nun ist der Entwickler tot, und niemand kennt die Formel. Dann kommt eine Biotechfirma aus Uppsala auf die Idee, einen Impfstoff zu entwickeln. Die dafür benötigten Antikörper lassen sich möglicherweise aus Hannas Blut gewinnen – aber diese hat kein gutes Gefühl dabei, und es gibt Gerüchte, dass das Unternehmen in terroristische Aktivitäten verwickelt ist ...

In this savage saga of love, war, lust, and magic set in the tenth century, young Sigrid is destined to be the mother of the king of the Nordic lands that would become Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and England. A devout believer in the old Nordic gods, Sigrid is visited regularly in her dreams by the goddess Freya, who whispers to her of the future. Though Sigrid is beautiful, rich, arrogant, and matchlessly clever, her uncanny ability to foresee the future and manipulate the present guides her through dangerous politics as a bloody war between Vikings and Christians rages on. Sigrid's father wants her to marry Erik, a local king, to secure the peace between the Goths and the Swedes. Thinking she is doing Freya's will, she accepts the marriage offer, only to find that her destiny lies not with Erik but with Sweyn, a warrior who dreams of dethroning Harald Bluetooth, the legendary ruler of Denmark. Will Sigrid sacrifice her will for the greatest Viking kingdom of all time, or will she follow her heart at the risk of losing everything?

Der Täter, Carl Cederhielm, will Rache nehmen an allen, die dazu beitragen, dass seine Heimat Tag für Tag von Flüchtlingen überschwemmt wird.

Desať rokov po smrti Stiega Larssona, autora svetoznámej krimisérie Millenium, sa prvýkrát nahliadne do jeho archívu, na ktorý sa dlho zabúdalo. V dvadsiatich škatuliach objaví novinár a spisovateľ Jan Stocklassa materiál, v ktorom Larsson mapuje pravicový extrémizmus osemdesiatych rokov a záhadný prípad: neobjasnenú vraždu švédskeho premiéra Olofa Palmeho, ktorého zastrelili 28. 2. 1986. Aj napriek tisíckam podozrivých sa nenašla jediná stopa, ktorá by viedla k odhaleniu vraha. Nenašla sa, alebo sa nikdy nájsť nemala. Larssonove dokumenty, listy, články a fotografie prinášajú nové indície. Stopy vedú k niečomu, čo bolo vyše troch desaťročí nepredstaviteľné – k pravdepodobnému objasneniu Palmeho vraždy. Vďaka materiálom z Larssonovho vyšetrovania, ktorému zasvätil osemnásť rokov života, príde Jan Stocklassa na stopu možnému páchateľovi. Odkaz Stiega Larssona obsahuje doteraz nezverejnené texty a predstavuje jedinečný opis skutočných udalostí, až neuveriteľne pripomínajúci osudy postáv z jeho krimirománov.

In the remote Swedish wetlands lies Mossmarken: the village on the edge of the mire where, once upon a time, people came to leave offerings to the gods. Biologist Nathalie came in order to study the peat bogs. But she has a secret: Mossmarken was once her home, a place where terrible things happened. She has returned at last, determined to confront her childhood trauma and find out the truth. Soon after her arrival, she finds an unconscious man out on the marsh, his pockets filled with gold--just like the ancient human sacrifices. A grave is dug in the mire, which vanishes a day after.

„Temné síly představují jeden z největších objevů v dlouhé historii draculovského příběhu...“ píše ve své předmluvě John E. Browning, expert v oblasti hororového a upírského žánru. Jedná se o unikátní verzi mistrovského krvavého díla Brama Stokera, která vyšla v roce 1899 ve Švédsku. Je to kniha dvojnásobného rozsahu než klasický román z roku 1897 a také podstatně víc nabitá erotikou i násilím. Není pochyb o tom, že se Bram Stoker na vzniku Temných sil podílel, ať už vědomě, či nevědomě. Setkáváme se zde se spoustou postav a motivů, které najdeme ve Stokerových poznámkách k Draculovi, z konečné verze je však autor vyškrtl. Literární vědci se shodují na tom, že Temné síly vycházejí z rané verze klasického Draculy. Následně byl román v podstatně zkrácené podobně přeložen do islandštiny, originál je však toto! Milovníci Draculy i noví čtenáři dostávají do rukou značně odlišný příběh se zcela novým koncem. Hrabě Dracula nehodlá pouze rozšířit upíří krev do celého světa, ale v rámci spiknutí se světovými mocnáři chystá nastolení fašistického světového řádu spjatého s uctíváním pohanských bohů při krvavých obřadech. A po draculovském hradu v Karpatech se prochází Bílá paní, neodolatelná kráska, která se svými polibky pokouší vlákat advokátního koncipienta Tomase Harkera do tenat zkázy.
