“Lisbeth Salander is back—and maybe better than ever.” —Lee Child
“Fresh, fearless. . . . One of the great crime series of our time could not be in safer, more capable hands.” —Chris Whitaker
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Lisbeth Salander returns in this chilling new installment of the multi-million-copy bestselling Millennium series.
Sweden’s far north is growing colder; even in springtime, the town of Gasskas is buried under a relentless snow. As temperatures drop, tensions rise between a global corporation shamelessly exploiting the area's natural resources and wary locals who have scores to settle. A bomb blasts apart a crucial bridge. Soon after, a young journalist is found murdered.
Meanwhile, Lisbeth is at home in Stockholm, looking to fill the void her last lover left behind. When she discovers that fellow hacker Plague has been kidnapped and taken up north, and finds her niece, Svala, on her doorstep, she has no choice but to return to Gasskas—with Mikael Blomkvist at her side. Blomkvist takes the helm at Gasskas's newspaper, and Lisbeth tries to locate Plague. But then Svala goes missing, and Lisbeth's worst fears come to haunt her. . .
Lured back to a lawless town full of predators disguised as saviors and foes disguised as friends, forced to face down their own troubling pasts and those of their loved ones, Salander and Blomkvist must untangle a history of violence before it's too late. The Girl with Ice in Her Veins is a twisty, vertiginous, hard-hitting thriller that breathes new life into Stieg Larsson's epic series and unforgettable characters.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lisbeth Salander’s past may have finally caught up with her in this powerful Nordic thriller. When a bridge to a local mine explodes in the Swedish town of Gasskas, Lisbeth suspects that her 13-year-old niece, Svala, a member of an environmental activist group, may be involved. After a journalist covering the story is murdered, Lisbeth embarks on a perilous search for Svala and a missing hacker friend, putting her in the path of an old adversary dead set on revenge. Since penning The Girl in the Eagle’s Talons, Karin Smirnoff has taken the helm of this riveting series with gusto. We loved how she focused not just on Lisbeth but also on her fiery niece, making this a great jumping-in point if you haven’t read any of the other books. Narrator Simon Vance’s smooth-as-silk voice builds up the tension during each riveting scene. If you’re in the market for an edgy thriller with unforgettable characters, The Girl with Ice in Her Veins is just what you need.

If I could give it a negative below zero, I would. This is horrible.
