The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest: A Lisbeth Salander Novel -- Stieg Larsson, Paperback

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - In this "thoroughly gripping read" (New York Times), Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, a bullet in her head. But she's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll stand trial for three murders.

With the help of Mikael Blomkvist, she'll need to identify those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she'll seek revenge--against the man who tried to killer her and against the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.
