Warned that his life is in danger, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants \u003ci\u003eMillennium\u003c\/i\u003e to publish his story - and it is a terrifying one.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's world-leading advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt 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 \u003ci\u003eMillennium \u003c\/i\u003eteam, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.\u003cbr\u003eNo doubt about it, Lagercrantz has done a skilful job. He may even be a better writer (translation permitting) than Larsson. - Sydney Morning Herald\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the good news is that it is a compulsive page-turner with a twisted, socially aware storyline. Salander has also lost none of her surly fascination and emerges once again as a unique contemporary heroine. - Good Reading, Australia\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFans of Stieg Larsson's captivating odd couple of modern detective fiction - the genius punk hacker Lisbeth Salander and her sometime partner, the crusading investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist - will not be disappointed . . . Salander and Blomkvist have survived the authorship transition intact and are just as compelling as ever. - New York Times\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLagercrantz has constructed an elegant plot around different concepts of intelligence . . . [his] continuation, while never formulaic, is a cleaner and tighter read than the originals . . . Without ever becoming pastiche, the book is a respectful and affectionate homage to the originals. - Guardian\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLagercrantz's real achievement here is the subtle development of Lisbeth's character; he allows us access to her complex, alienated world but is careful not to remove her mystery and unknowability. Lisbeth Salander remains, in Lagercrantz's hands, the most enigmatic and fascinating anti-heroine in fiction. - Financial Times\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans - our punk hacker heroine is in good hands . . . Swedish crime novelist David Lagercrantz takes the reins with prowess, not only mimicking Larsson's shamelessly pulpy prose, but admirably expanding the deliciously depraved world of the novels. - USA Today\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs I read Lagercrantz's \u003ci\u003eThe Girl in the Spider's Web\u003c\/i\u003e, I found that I kept forgetting for several pages at a time that I wasn't reading genuine Larsson . . . One devours Larsson's books for the plots, the action, the anger, and most of all for Lisbeth Salander . . . Lagercrantz has caught her superbly, and expertly spun the sort of melodramatic yarn in which she can thrive. - Daily Telegraph\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElegantly paced, slickly executed, and properly thrilling. - Observer\u003cbr\u003eDavid Lagercrantz was born in 1962, and is an acclaimed author and journalist. In 2015 \u003ci\u003eThe Girl in the Spider's Web\u003c\/i\u003e, his continuation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, became a worldwide bestseller, and it was announced that Lagercrantz would write two further novels in the series. He is also the author of the acclaimed and bestselling \u003ci\u003eI am Zlatan Ibrahimovic\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFall of Man in Wilmslow.\u003c\/i\u003e\r\n                                        ","brand":"Girl in the Spider's Web","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42285601882303,"sku":"9781848667785","price":25.19,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/products\/WnO1QWXHf4fBKC0qzXKipNoR586MbwF8dS3QleZWM-6KJA_60_60.jpg?v=1679109833","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/girl-in-the-spiders-web-millennium-book-4","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
