The Murder When a young couple is found dead in their Stockholm apartment, it's a straightforward job for Inspector Bublanski and his team. The killer left the weapon at the scene - and the fingerprints on the gun point in only one direction. The Girl Who Played with Fire Ex-security analyst Lisbeth Salander is wanted for murder. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society - but no-one can find her. The only way Salander can be reached is by computer. But she can break into almost any network she chooses...

The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson's internationally best-selling trilogy. Lisbeth Salander - the heart of Larsson's two previous novels - lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back. ~from the jacket

Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.

"Si no hubiera reivindicado su derecho al placer habría vivido dichosa o al menos tranquila hasta su muerte. Y, sin embargo, aún ahora consideraba intolerable la insatisfacción, ese estado de letargo sexual al cual la condenaba el matrimonio con Luis. La libertad tenía un precio y ella lo estaba pagando, duramente, de la peor manera que habría imaginado, pero después las puertas del mundo se le abrirían de par en par". El tiempo de las amazonas recorre tres décadas de la vida de tres primas -Gaby, Virginia e Isabel- que llegan a vivir a París en los años setenta. Su incesante exploración del deseo las llevará a tomar decisiones que tendrán un alto costo para sus vidas. Sus parejas, sus amantes y sus amigos forman parte de un universo narrativo que se mueve alrededor de las preocupaciones centrales de la obra de la autora: la madurez, el placer sexual, la amistad y la enfermedad. Veinticinco años después de su muerte, Marvel Moreno vuelve a sorprendernos con esta, su segunda y última novela, una historia de mujeres que se adelantaron a su propio tiempo y que rompieron las estructuras para arriesgarlo todo por la libertad.
