Tra le strade di Londra, scosse dai tumulti del G20, un uomo asiatico viene investito mentre cerca di comunicare con un osservatore dell’Europol. Le sue ultime parole, sussurrate all’ispettore Arto Söderstedt, risultano incomprensibili. Pochi giorni dopo, in un parco della capitale, viene trovato il corpo di una donna, anche lei portatrice di un messaggio per la segretissima unità operativa OpCop dell’Europol, che si trova ad affrontare la sua prima indagine. I due casi di morte, inizialmente considerati isolati, rivelano un sorprendente nesso che si estende dall’Asia all’America, coinvolgendo gruppi malavitosi di vari paesi. OpCop ha come obiettivo dichiarato la lotta contro la criminalità internazionale. Questo thriller segna l’inizio di una nuova serie di polizieschi da uno dei migliori autori del genere nordico, che unisce le caratteristiche del thriller scandinavo e americano. La squadra di Söderstedt deve operare in un contesto in cui internet e la fluidità delle frontiere hanno globalizzato il crimine, con avidità e corruzione che si estendono oltre i confini nazionali. Arne Dahl offre un thriller avvincente e inquietantemente realistico, che intreccia brama, denaro e potere, riflettendo provocatoriamente il nostro tempo.

Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Two journalists from Millennium magazine about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Meanwhile, Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, does not believe that she is guilty.

A man starts a double life after a secret lottery win. But he can’t know just how sour his new life will turn . . .

In una Goteborg autunnale, dove il rapido accorciarsi delle giornate prelude al lungo buio dell'inverno, tre stazioni di polizia ricevono le allarmate denunce di genitori i cui figli sono stati avvicinati da uno sconosciuto. All'apparenza, nessuno dei piccoli ha subito molestie di alcun genere: l'uomo si è limitato a farli salire sulla sua auto e a chiacchierare brevemente con loro. Ma dopo qualche tempo un quarto bambino viene ritrovato gravemente ferito e un quinto scompare, rapito dal passeggino in un centro commerciale durante un attimo di distrazione della madre. Il commissario Erik Winter, che già si sta occupando di una serie di singolari aggressioni a studenti universitari, si sente toccato personalmente, in quanto i bambini hanno grosso modo l'età di sua figlia Elsa. Mette così in campo tutta la sua competenza di poliziotto e il suo intuito di genitore. E a poco a poco comincia a ricostruire l'oscuro legame che unisce i due filoni di indagine.

In the heart of summer, the country swelters in a fug of heat. In the beautiful forested lake-town of Sorbinowo, Sergeant Merwin Kluuge's tranquil existence is shattered when he receives a phone-call from an anonymous woman. She tells him that a girl has gone missing from the summer camp of the mysterious The Pure Life, a religious sect buried deep in the woods. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is recruited to help solve the mystery. But Van Veeteren's investigations at The Pure Life go nowhere fast. The strange priest-like figure who leads the sect - Oscar Yellineck - refuses even to admit anyone is missing. Things soon take a sinister turn, however, when a young girl's body is discovered in the woods, raped and strangled; and Yellineck himself disappears. Yet even in the face of these new horrors, the remaining members of the sect refuse to co-operate with Van Veeteren, remaining largely silent. As the body count rises, a media frenzy descends upon the town and the pressure to find the monster behind the murders weighs heavily on the investigative team. Finally Van Veeteren realises that to solve this disturbing case, faced with silence and with few clues to follow, he has only his intuition to rely on ...

In woodland outside Ystad, the police make a horrific discovery: a severed head, and hands locked together in an attitude of prayer. A Bible lies at the victim's side, the pages marked with scribbled corrections.

Around a marvellous love story, Vallgren paints a cast of grotesques in a magical and atmospheric tour of 19th Century Europe.

A new case for Chief Inspector Van Veeteren - the complicated history of a nearly perfect murder. On a sunny August day a man is released from prison. On a rainy April day children at play find his corpse. The fact that the dead man is Leopold Verhaven only becomes clear after some time because the mutilated corpse is without its head, legs and feet. Who would be interested in killing this man, a double murderer who spent 24 years in prison? Determined to let no case go unsolved, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren reopens the case. What he discovers is that Verhaven was a star sprinter before he went to prison for allegedly killing two of his lovers. However, he never confessed to the murders and spent a lifetime proclaiming his innocence. Was he killed because someone thought he had not been punished enough? Or was someone afraid of Verhaven's revenge? A terrible suspicion stalks Van Veeteren: had Verhaven been telling the truth? Was he really innocent?

An international sensation, The Royal Physician's Visit magnificently recasts the dramatic era of Danish history when Johann Friedrich Struensee -- court physician to mad young King Christian -- stepped through an aperture in history and became the holder of absolute power in Denmark. His is a gripping tale of power, sex, love, and the life of the mind, and it is superbly rendered here by one of Sweden's most acclaimed writers. A charismatic German doctor and brilliant intellectual, Struensee used his influence to introduce hundreds of reforms in Denmark in the 1760s. He had a tender and erotic affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde, who was unsatisfied by her unstable, childlike husband. Yet Struensee lacked the subtlety of a skilled politician and the cunning to choose enemies wisely; these flaws proved fatal, and would eventually lead to his tragic demise.
